"everyone is doing everything" said the general just so you can be as strong as possible. along our path in northern gaza, the signs of civilian life have given way to the constant hum of drones and the distant echoes of artillery. our time with the idf began at the coordination base for the border crossing, the first international media to visit the site. the terror attack on october 7 hit hard here. the scars of machine gun fire and rpgs still visible. the idf says nine soldiers were killed here and three kidnapped. it took 12 hours for israel to regain control of the base. now it's one of the main gates to gaz
