Israel's national mood appears to be solidly behind a war against Hamas, Sky's Deborah Haynes writes, adding the population seems willing to tolerate the attrition to respond to what they believe is an existential threat.
Public support in Israel for the war against Hamas is strong, even as the military suffers its first significant casualties of an expanded ground operation inside Gaza. Eleven Israeli soldiers were killed on Tuesday in combat as troops moved deeper into the Palestinian enclave. The Israel Defence Forces has said that 15 of its soldiers have now been killed.
But the 7 October atrocities created a new reality - undermining confidence in the Israeli security apparatus that is meant to keep them safe, eroding much remaining confidence in the government of Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's veteran, embittered prime minister, and regarding Hamas as an entity that can no longer be tolerated.
