SSG Emmanueloff, a 22-year-old infantryman of the Golani Bde, apparently is the first IDF KIA in the Gaza ground operation, at least according to the IDF’s English-language site. Others have been seriously wounded. May there be no more, though that isn’t very likely. This war that the Hamas terrorists have started isn’t a game.
UPDATE: Alas, there have been four more in quick succession. Small numbers to us are big numbers to little Israel.
