2008–2009, 2012, 2014, 2021, and the ongoing war starting in October 2023. Israel has every right, and frankly a responsibility, to defend the country and its citizens from those who wish to destroy it.

Eta I don't know the specifics about these casualties other than it's tragic and Hamas is the responsible party.
