It's Very Personal: Inside Gaza with Israeli Soldiers Whose Lives Changed on Oct. 7
(Ha'aretz) Anshel Pfeffer - The writer was embedded with forces in the Israeli army's ground operation in Gaza. The maze of tunnels under Gaza forces the soldiers to continually sweep the territory from every angle so gunners and the commanders can constantly look at every point where they think a tunnel could open up and to try and spot it before it's used to launch a missile against them. For the soldiers inside Gaza, their lives changed on Oct. 7. Many of them know people who were killed, who were taken hostage, or wounded. Some of them are from families which have been forced to leave their homes because of the war. It's very personal for everybody. The soldiers on the ground are very focused on their mission.
