May His Memory Be a Blessing...

An Israeli special forces police officer injured in the operation to rescue the four hostages has died from his wounds, the Israeli police announced.

 Soldiers on the ground who risk their lives to save others are heroes. Those dropping bombs on civilians from above... not so much.  More of the former please, less of the latter...

Despite an eight-month military campaign in Gaza, Israel has struggled to free its hostages in bold rescue operations. The successful recovery of the four hostages raises the total number to seven, including a special forces raid in February in the southern Gazan city of Rafah that freed two Israelis held by Hamas.
