Israel's war with Hamas has been going on for more than eight weeks, and both sides have paid a huge price. Despite the fact that the Israeli army successfully fought Hamas, they themselves suffered heavy losses. In the clashes in the Gaza Strip, 10 Israeli army officers and soldiers, including two senior commanders, were killed. Since the beginning of the war, the death toll of the Israeli army has reached 442. 
Eight Israeli servicemen killed in this attack were killed when Shujaya was ambushed by Hamas, most of them military officers. There are other mid- and high-ranking officers, including the Supreme Commander of the Golan Brigade and the Commander of the 13th Battalion. The blow was a serious blow to the Israeli army, having lost so many high-ranking officers at once. On the day of the incident, Lieutenant Colonel Greenberg led some officers and soldiers of the 13th Battalion to conduct a search mission near Shujaya, east of Gaza City. As soon as they entered a building, they were surrounded by Hamas and subjected to heavy fire and ** attacks. When Israeli forces arrived to support, there was another **attack, causing more**. 
The Israeli army is investigating whether the attack was related to the Hamas tunnel inside the building. The Gaza Strip is home to hundreds of kilometres of underground Hamas tunnels that are often used by Palestinians to ambush Israeli forces. In order to destroy Hamas's tunnel network, the Israeli army has begun to pour seawater into the tunnels. The attack made it even more difficult for the Israeli Golan Brigade to communicate with Shujaya. During the 2014 war in Gaza, the unit's armoured vehicles were hit during the fighting in Shujaya, killing seven soldiers and killing the 13th Battalion of the Golan Brigade. 
The Golan Brigade was the first brigade of the Israeli army, formed in 1948. As infantry brigades, they have undergone arduous training and testing, especially in ambush, reconnaissance and camouflage. The brigade is considered one of the elite units of the Israeli army, marked by green olive trees on a yellow background. In addition to Israel's **, the war has also brought great suffering to the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip. A spokesman for the Gaza Strip's health department said 18,412 people had been killed and 50,000 injured in Israeli attacks. The war has cast a shadow over the region, and people live in fear and uncertainty. The end of the war is still uncertain, and the conflict between the two sides continues.
