As of today, 800 IDF soldiers have died since the start of the war in Gaza. The last to die was Sgt. 1st Class (res.) Roi Sasson, who was killed in an ambush while inside a building in northern Gaza. The battalion commander was also seriously wounded in the incident. He was 21 years old, as most of the deceased had been from 19 to 21, I notice, and from Mevasseret Zion. He was killed on Tuesday in northern Gaza during a clash with terrorists, "He finished his compulsory service and they gave him four months of reserve duty, which he didn't survive," Osnat, his mother said. The number of wounded soldiers stands at 5,381, with 786 seriously wounded.
We've been at this war for a year, now. 26,000 rockets have been fired at Israel. Israel's military reported that 17,000 terror operatives were killed in Gaza, at least 800 in Lebanon; 4,700 tunnel shafts found in Strip; and 11,000 Hezbollah positions were hit.
This Israel--Hamas war started On 7 October 2023, when Palestinian militants attacked Israel, killing 1,143 people (mostly civilians) at the music festival at the end of Sukkot and beginning the Israel–Hamas war. Israel responded by bombing the Gaza Strip and launching an invasion that has killed more than 43,000 (?) Gazans as of November 2024. Now, the number of Gazans reported to have been killed is probably highly incorrect, as it is reported by the enemy, and they have been exaggerating every time. Israel is noted to have an army that goes more than any other army goes to protect the civilians.
Jews hadn't lived in Gaza until 1967, when they won the June war after being attacked by all their neighbors at once in an instigated and planned war led by Egypt and others. In total, between 1967 and 2005, Israel established 21 settlements in Gaza, comprising 20% of the total territory. Before that time, from 1959 till 1967, Egypt was in control of Gaza. Historically part of the Palestine region, the area was controlled since the 16th century by the Ottoman Empire; in 1906, the Ottomans and the British Empire set the region's international border with Egypt.
With the implementation of the plan for Peace with the Palestinians, IDF installations and forces were removed and over 9000 Israeli citizens living in 25 settlements were evicted. By 22 September 2005, Israel's withdrawal from the entire Gaza Strip to the 1967 Green Line, and the eviction of the four settlements in Samaria, was completed. Jews had left everything; even their businesses for the Palestinians. To have left the land only to see that it was used as a platform to shoot guns of all sorts at them, rockets, missiles, mortars, etc, was the biggest horror. They will not repeat this mistake again. That's why a cease fire must be worded very carefully if Jews are to move back home after losing theirs on October 7th along with so many lives.
