Unfortunately, the astronomical figure of 700 Israelis killed will not remain the same. Never in Israel’s history have there been so many casualties in a single attack.”
Israel has declared a state of war and is preparing for a protracted conflict, including the likely ground operation in Gaza, on whose border the conflict is escalating. Tank deployment. These are “the significant military actions” approved by the Security Council of the Netanyahu government and announced by the Prime Minister a few hours after the enemy attack, which provoked “a campaign of unprecedented intensity and breadth.” Not to mention growing nervousness in the north with Hezbollah – allies such as Iran’s Hamas – where there have been exchanges of fire between the two sides. The numbers speak for the strength of the ongoing conflict: In Israel, the victims of the Hamas raids, including those of the terrible massacre at the Israeli rave party on the border, amount to over 700. Of the approximately 2,500 injured, many are seriously injured. And hundreds are still missing. Tel Aviv and Jerusalem appear to be ghost towns, with the population barricaded in their homes after Saturday’s rocket rain. The country is shutting down: one airline after another is canceling flights to and from Ben Gurion Airport. Many tourists, not just Italians, remained stranded. On the other side, the Gaza Strip, more than 400 civilians and militia members died and 2,300 were injured as a result of the fierce attacks by the Israeli Air Force. Before any ground action, the Israeli army must liquidate the pockets of resistance on the border with the Gaza Strip, where clashes between Hamas militiamen and soldiers continue.

The militiamen from the three organizations – which were joined by outsiders from Gaza after the breach of the protective barrier that separates the Gaza Strip from Israel – entered from 29 points across one of the most heavily controlled borders in the world. In Israel, this is the greatest embarrassment for those in charge of the intelligence service, the armed forces and the government itself.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has appointed retired Gen. Gal Hirsch as “prisoners and missing persons coordinator,” tasked with using full authority to deal with the matter, while the army has set up a sort of crisis unit to try to locate them.

This is the same area that was declared a “war zone” by the Jewish army. Another indication that this will be the start of the ground offensive.
