The IDF has practically been standing still for the most part for more than a week now. The war could’ve been won by now but the politicians are holding them back.
IDF has warned several times that it’s “dangerous” for an army to stand still rather than advancing.
During Monday which was supposed to be a ceasefire day, 9 of 10 IDF dead were killed on Israeli soil.
And now this today.
The soldier kidnapped this morning in Rafah is Hadar Goldin, an officer in the Givati Brigade, the IDF says.
