More than 100 Israeli soldiers have threatened to stop fighting in Gaza if the government does not seek a hostage release deal, an Israeli newspaper report has claimed.
The group of 130 troops warned that Benjamin Netanyahu had 'crossed a red line' and that continuing the war will 'endanger lives', according to Haaretz.
It comes as the Israeli Prime Minister vowed to keep fighting until his country secures a 'total victory' over Hamas and the return of all the captives.
The troops are understood to have written in a letter to cabinet ministers and the IDF's chief of staff: 'Many hostages have been killed by IDF strikes, many more than those who have been rescued in military operations to save them.'
'If the government does not change course immediately and work towards securing a deal to bring the hostages home, we will not be able to continue serving,' they continued.
