Israel's army says a total of 21 soldiers have been killed in an attack in central Gaza, making it the largest single loss of life for the military since the war began.

On Monday, Israeli reservists were preparing explosives to demolish two buildings in central Gaza on when a militant fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a tank nearby. The blast triggered the explosives, causing both two-story buildings to collapse on the soldiers inside.

    Why is there no kind of information on how many Hamas operatives have been killed in this war? Is this because there’s no way to tell them from civilians? Does Hamas itself even know?

      Netanyahu said he would need at least until 2025 to defeat Hamas, probably more. It’s unlikely the IDF has made much progress so far.

      Probably that. And Israel, the only ones who might have a shot at it, are saying nonsense numbers to make themselves look better to anyone dumb enough to believe them.

        What!?! Surely this must be a lie, it’s not like the IDF has been known to list days of the week as people’s names.
