This week saw the biggest single loss of life for Israel in Gaza since the war began with 24 soldiers killed on January 22 in two separate attacks, bringing its total military deaths to more than 200 since October 7.

Israel has called up about 360,000 reservists and tens of thousands of soldiers have been sent to fight inside Gaza, where more than 25,000 Palestinians have been killed in three months.

Israel says that the city of Gaza is now completely encircled, with many Gaza residents now living in tents near the Rafah border.

This week on Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher analyses Israel’s military moves.
