My late grandmother’s cousin William Abraham Holmes. He was a private in the Welsh Regiment.
Apparently buried in Gaza Cemetery. And what’s worse is ther is still bloodshed there

My mother's brother was also posted to Palestine and I suspect he had a hard time there, although I was too young to be given any information.

It's obviously the Iranian government that has been providing money and hundreds of rockets  aimed at the Israelis.  Probably as a means of communication that the Israelis should stop what they're doing in Jerusalem.

Every country has a right to defend itself and the Israelis have a sophisticated defence net that intercepts rockets.  However, deliberately bombing high rise buildings because allegedly an enemy had a room in that building is no reason to bomb the building to smithereens, thus causing more homelessness plus loss of life, loss of earning a living and loss of possessions for Palestinian civilians.
