Channel 12 Israel reports that over 800 parents of soldiers currently deployed in Gaza have sent an urgent letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding an immediate end to the war as casualties among Israeli troops in northern Gaza continue to rise.
According to reports the letter expressed no sympathy for the ongoing humanitarian plight facing the Palestinians in Gaza.
In their plea, the parents warned, "We will wage an uncompromising struggle, and we will not allow Gaza to become a graveyard for our children."
The letter highlights growing domestic dissent as Israel's military operation in Gaza faces mounting criticism amid increasing losses and public outcry.
