More than 100 days since Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, the Israeli military continues its bombardment of the neighboring Gaza Strip.
The conflict, now the deadliest between the warring sides since Israel's founding in 1948, shows no signs of letting up soon and the brief cease-fire that allowed for over 100 hostages to be freed from Gaza remains a distant memory.
The Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday that 21 of its reservists were killed while fighting in the central Gaza Strip a day earlier.
The IDF is investigating the incident.
"War has a very painful and heavy price," IDF spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a statement. "The dedicated reservists, who stood up for the flag, sacrificed the most precious of all, for the security of the State of Israel and so that we can all live here safely."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it "one of the most difficult days since the outbreak of the war."
"We must learn the necessary lessons and do everything to safeguard the lives of our fighters." Netanyahu said in a statement. "On behalf of our heroes, for our very lives, we will not stop fighting until total victory."
