IDF leadership

The Israel Defense Forces seem not to be lacking in leadership, judging by the casualties thus far, and this report by Amos Harel, military correspondent for Haaretz:

"…as in previous battles, many of the fallen soldiers are officers. Of the 33 IDF soldiers killed in the fighting so far, eight of them were officers: three pilots, a deputy battalion commander, a company commander and two platoon commanders from Golani, and a platoon commander in the armored corps."
