- Capt. Arye Sharuz Shalicar addresses the world in Persian one year after the end of Operation Cast Lead. Despite Israel's complete withdrawal from Gaza and the Egyptian brokered ceasefire, Hamas continued to launch attacks at Israeli civilians. After Hamas put over a million Israeli civilians under the threat of rocket attack, Israel had no choice but to launch a campaign on December 28th, 2009.

Having sent thousands of SMSs, dropping over a million flyers, and broadcasting over Palestinians TV and radio waves, the IDF did everything it could to limit the amount of civilian casualties despite Hamas' strategy.
Since the end of Cast Lead their has been a 90% decrease in rocket fire at Israel. This attests to the success of the operation in its aims to reestablish quiet in Israel's home front. One year since the operation, children i...

Hauptmann Arye Sharuz Shalicar richtet sich an die Welt, nachdem ein Jahr seit Operation Gegossenes Blei vergangen ist. Trotz Israels komplettem Rückzug aus dem Gazastreifen und dem von Egypten verhandelten Waffenstillstand fuhr Hamas mit Angriffen auf Israels Zivilisten fort.

Gegenüber einem Feind, der seine eigene Bevölkerung gezielt in Gefahr brachte, unternahmen die Israelischen Streitkräfte alle möglichen Anstrengungen, um das Leben von unschuldigen Zivilisten zu schützen. Die Israelischen Streitkräfte verschickten tausende SMS-Nachrichten, wurfen mehr a...
