IDF Commander of the Home Front Command:

The situation in the north (Lebanon border) is worse than the situation in the Gaza border. We have set a target date for war in the north.

Since the start of the war, 115 Israeli soldiers have died and around 600 have been injured in Gaza, according to the Israeli military.

That is a greater number of casualties than Israel’s military experienced in previous Gaza ground invasions. At least 20 of the Israeli military fatalities were accidents, mostly the result of friendly fire.

The higher Israeli casualties reflect a shift in the military’s war tactics, with a greater focus on urban, ground combat and more targeted operations. In the earlier weeks of the war, Israel relied almost exclusively on air bombardments.

Conducting warfare house to house and “checking things from up close instead of destroying them from far away” is part of Israel’s strategy to reduce civilian casualties, said Shalom Ben Hanan, a former senior Israeli intelligence official.

But that is coming at a price for Israeli troops, and in military and security circles some are beginning to question the strategy, he said.

“I’m already hearing criticism that it’s not OK, and we have to fight differently, that we have to fight in a way that is safer for IDF soldiers,” said Ben Hanan, who is in touch with his former colleagues.

They are asking “if it is essential to battle this way, versus with tanks and planes.”
