The Battle of Sejaiya - 1
(Ha'aretz) Gili Cohen - During the fighting in Sejaiya in Gaza on July 20, the Golani Brigade had been under fire for several hours, said an IDF officer involved in the fighting. "The enemy was spread in every direction, and was shooting....Working with the knowledge of the enemy's location, we put all the Golani soldiers in the Namers [the army's best APCs]...and we laid down fire" only 100 meters away. Artillery fired 600 shells at Sejaiya as planes bombed from above, "after which there was no more shooting from there, not even light weapons." The next day as well, in an aerial attack that included about 100 one-ton bombs, the Israel Air Force dropped bombs only about 250 meters away from IDF ground troops.
