Gideon Levy, author and columnist at the Israeli daily Haaretz, said the ambush in Rafah that killed eight Israeli soldiers will raise more questions in Israeli society about the war in Gaza, which is quickly becoming an unwinnable "endless war". "It is not unprecedented but it is a very meaningful figure even though let's remember that 38 people in Gaza were killed today," Levy told Al Jazeera. "But it is different as eight soldiers is a big, heavy price for Israeli society, especially when it gets into the total number, and the total atmosphere, which, day-after-day, almost every day, we hear about losses of soldiers," Levy said. "And more and more people in Israel are asking 'What for?' And, 'Until when?""
