Following Israel-Palestine war, Israel has been bombarding the Gaza Strip since the weekend attack by Hamas operatives, which killed hundreds in border regions.
Israeli soldiers are forcing Hamas terrorists back in the battle, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls war.
Many ex-soldiers and reservists have returned to serve in support of Israel’s war against Hamas. As troops, journalists, and medical professionals, women are playing critical roles in the fight.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) has released images and videos of these female officers on active service. On Kibbutz Be’eri, one of the soldiers is seen describing the offence.
Some of the faces of the Israel-Palestine war:
Moriah Mencer:
After one of her pals was “murdered” in the incident over the weekend, the former IDF soldier flew to Israel to battle Hamas.
She posted a video from London’s Heathrow airport in which she said, “We’ve rushed back to Israel because our friends are in very unfortunate situations. Some of my friends are missing. I’ve just found out that one of my friends has been murdered in her home two days ago. So we got the first flight we could.”
Ella Waweya:
She is the first Muslim Arab woman to publicly become a major in the IDF, and is known as “Captain Ella” around the world (and on social media).
On the IDF’s Instagram account, the officer is seen giving updates about the ongoing combat in Gaza, as well as a message of togetherness for Israel’s success.
Zohar and Liron:
On Saturday, the couple survived the horrifying attack at the Supernova music festival in southern Israel. They both reported for reserve duty in the Combat Engineering Corps’ reserve battalion immediately after fleeing.
Plestia Alaqad:
The Palestinian journalist has been using her phone to photograph the extensive devastation around her.
Ms Alaqad is located in Gaza and has been reporting on how life has changed since the Israel-Hamas war began on Saturday.
A short glance at her Instagram account reveals a significant shift in her posts.
Since three days ago, her posts have taken a 180-degree turn from her earlier posts, which depicted her typical, Instagram-worthy life.
Miki Dubery:
The 23-year-old journalist moved to Tel Aviv from the United States two years ago. She has spoken to multiple victims and reported on atrocities committed in the region since the Hamas attack.
Ms Dubery told a US news station that the ongoing fight is “Terror versus Israel and Hamas versus the Palestinians,” and implored people to care, stating, “This will affect humanity.”
At least seven journalists were slain in the first three days of combat, according to the International Women’s Media Foundation.
Israel and Hamas exchanged further fire on Thursday. Israel has also put a “complete siege” on the Palestinian region, shutting off access to electricity, water, and gasoline.
Earlier on Thursday, Israeli Energy Minister Israel Katz stated that supplies will not be resumed until Hamas militants free all captives detained in the Gaza Strip.
