🔻The Shujaiya neighborhood is a nightmare that haunts the leaders of the Israeli army, who suffered a crushing defeat in the neighborhood

Perhaps the most prominent of these is Colonel Erez Kabats, who led the 13th Battalion in the Golani Brigade in the aggression against Gaza in 2014, and he was the one who ordered the Israeli force to enter the “death trap,” as he called it, in the Shujaiya neighborhood.

The Israeli military commander describes what happened in Shujaiya in the 2014 war, saying:

I simply still see the battle in Shujaiya right in front of my eyes with my eyes open, I can hear the explosions, the anti-missiles, the machine gun fire I hear it all the time – I don't sleep well at night. That day we crossed the border fence towards Shujaiya, and within a few seconds an officer under my command was seriously injured


Israeli Channel 12 described the night that the 13th Battalion of the Golani Brigade experienced in the Shujaiya neighborhood as a “black night.”
