The Israeli military’s mounting death toll is putting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under more scrutiny at home, reports Al Jazeera’s Alan Fisher.

The majority of soldiers’ deaths have occurred since the end of the ceasefire on December 1.

“The number of dead will certainly put pressure on Netanyahu,” said Fisher from occupied East Jerusalem.

“People are asking questions. They’re wondering if the [Israeli military’s] objective is to free the captives held in Gaza, how many soldiers will die as they move that operation forward.”
