(Israel Defense Forces) The reason that the number of Israeli civilian casualties was relatively low during the 50 days of the Gaza war is because the IDF is constantly investing in saving lives in every possible way. The IDF's most crucial life-saving systems include real-time alerts. "First of all people need to know that a rocket was fired at them, so they know to run for cover," explains Lt. Col.
