Israel must return to fighting in Gaza in order to save hostages. Nearly a thousand soldiers have lost their lives since Israel launched its invasion of Gaza in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, massacre by Hamas. Additionally, 16,000 soldiers have been wounded in fighting. The IDF expands its invasion of Gaza following the collapse of negotiations to secure the release of the remaining 59 hostages in Hamas captivity. Protests against the government are taking place, with demonstrators criticizing the policy to place the elimination of Hamas over the release of the hostages. It is unclear how destroying trucks will help in achieving the goal of returning to negotiations.
