Deep in Gaza, a Lopsided Battle
(Washington Post) - Molly Moore This is a reconstruction of the 7-hour battle between Lt. Col. Tal Hermoni's IDF unit and Gaza City's street fighters on Jan. 26, which resulted in 12 Palestinians dead and 62 wounded, while no Israeli soldiers died and none were injured. It is based on interviews with more than 60 participants and witnesses, including Israeli soldiers and Palestinian residents and fighters, as well as reviews of infrared videos taken by the Israeli military, television footage shot by Palestinian camera crews during and after the fighting, and medical records of the dead and wounded.
