Description

Perhaps the most critical issue facing the State of Israel today is avoiding civilian casualties when battling terrorists in Gaza. Israel takes risks that cause it to lose precious soldiers. Is this approach correct according to Torah principles? Does Halacha permit the sacrifice of our Chayalim in order to reduce enemy civilian losses? Does the episode of Shimon & Levi in Shechem bear on the current situation?
