War between Israel and Hamas: 24 IDF soldiers killed in one day – (France 2)
24 Israeli soldiers died on Monday January 22 in the south of the Gaza Strip, including 21 reservists. Can this heavy toll and the pressure from the families of the hostages push Israel to pause? Decryption.
Tuesday January 23 afternoon, the funerals continue in Jerusalem (Israel). 24 soldiers killed to whom residents pay tribute. Not everyone in the crowd knew the dead soldiers. “It’s very hard, these young people, it’s a huge loss, I don’t have the words”, deplores a woman, with tears in her eyes. No image of the death of these soldiers reached France 2 journalists. These reservists were placing a mine inside two buildings to destroy them when Hamas spotted them.
The country is divided
Faced with this heavy toll, the Israeli war cabinet met to affirm that the war is not stopping. A determination, while the country is divided. Monday January 22, families of hostages took over a parliamentary committee. They demand that priority be given to negotiations to free the hostages, and not to war.
