Enthusiasts.

Boyish enthusiasm or something other. Perhaps even an indication of bad to come?

Israeli troops Gaza their behavior and demeanor less than adequate? 

IDF = Israeli Defense Force.

"IDF generals warn: Israeli soldiers' conduct in Gaza endangers forces"

From The Jerusalem Post ^ | NOVEMBER 18, 2023 | article by AMIR BOHBOT/WALLA! The tip from Freeper.

"Reserve officers in the IDF sounded the alarm over a collection of reports recently accumulated on disciplinary issues among Israeli soldiers in Gaza, which may lead to 'serious incidents' in the Gaza Strip and endanger Israeli forces in the face of Hamas threats, they argued. Among the alarming reports, a testimony of a tank commander claimed he observed soldiers playing soccer, swimming in the waters of Gazan beaches, spraying graffiti inscriptions on the walls of Palestinian houses, and planting trees brought from Israel. Also, some unusual political statements by soldiers were recorded on social networks"

INSUFFICIENT AND INADEQUATE ATTENTION TO THE MISSION, A LACKADAISICAL ATTITUDE CAN LEAD TO DISASTER.

As to unusual "political statements" I can easily understand comments very negative toward Hamas, Palestinians and Arabs in general!
