Alon,
- Since the ground war in Gaza began on 27.10, 168 IDF soldiers have died. But Hamas claims 1,600, and this is a good explanation for why there's no ceasefire. Israel can't hide this many bodies of its own soldiers. 1,600 goes well beyond a lie and gets into gross military illiteracy. Wars happens when two sides have different views of their capabilities; Hamas says it's winning symmetrically, which is Baghdad Bob levels of batshit. No wonder it said no to Egypt's generous ceasefire offer.
