In a shocking revelation, the Israeli Ministry of Military Affairs reports that over 10,000 Israeli forces have been affected by trauma in the ongoing Gaza conflict. The report highlights severe physical injuries, with 37% of troops suffering from limb trauma and 35% diagnosed with PTSD. Since the war began on October 7 last year, more than 300 Israeli forces have died. This escalation, which began as a response to the al-Aqsa Storm operation by Gaza’s resistance groups, has led to nearly 40,000 Palestinian deaths, predominantly women and children. As Israeli authorities release casualty figures sparingly, questions arise about whether the true cost of the war is being hidden. Hamas demands a ceasefire and the return of captives, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to continue until Hamas is eliminated—a goal deemed impossible by many. Explore the impact of this ongoing conflict and the controversy surrounding the reporting of casualties.

The head of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, has criticized cabinet ministers for not condemning rioters who recently breached military bases. The criticism highlights increasing tensions between the IDF and Israel's political leadership. The controversy began after a raid at the Sde Teiman detention facility in the Negev, where military police arrested soldiers accused of abusing a terror suspect. The ministers' lack of clear condemnation and their concerns about the raid's execution, including the use of masked officers, have intensified the rift between the military and government officials.

Tensions have escalated as Hamas' armed wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, vows to retaliate against Israel following the assassination of two senior commanders in Jenin. In a chilling statement, Hamas declared that the blood of their martyrs will bring a "torrent of blood" for Israel, signaling the start of more high-profile operations across the occupied West Bank. This deadly exchange comes on the heels of a recent targeted killing in Tehran, which has further inflamed the already volatile situation. Is the Middle East on the brink of even more bloodshed?

In a stark reminder of the violence that marked the Second Intifada, Raed Misk, a Hamas operative, orchestrated a suicide bombing on Jerusalem's Egged Bus No. 2 on August 19, 2003. The attack resulted in 24 fatalities, including 7 children, and injured over 130 people. Misk, who had disguised himself as a Haredi Jew, used a bomb filled with ball bearings to maximise casualties. He cited the killing of a Hamas leader by the Israeli army as his motivation, expressing pride in his actions in a video released by Hamas. On the 21st anniversary of the bombing, Hamas released excerpts from Misk's will, coinciding with a new suicide bombing in Tel Aviv, highlighting the ongoing violence in the region. This attack continues to underscore the tragic and persistent nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
