The Second Battle Of Gaza
Three weeks later, The Second Battle of Gaza had started on April 17, 1917 where the Turks had ameliorate their defences. Dobell fired frontal assaults on Turkish troops. He used up to six or seven tanks, deadly gases and also gas shells. The gases and tanks were a dejected dereliction. After a few days of conflict the attack was cancelled, no land was gained from either sides.

Three of the EEF’s divisions would strike with each other in a set-piece frontal attack with as much firepower they have. The Ottoman Empire attacked on the British infantry and the results were terrible. They used machine guns,rifles and a little bit of gas shells. They did hand to hand fighting and gained footholds.

    One of the main tactics used on the Somme before the initial battle was the Preliminary Bombardment. The Bombardment consisted of a heavy rain of artillery shells over the German trenches, for seven days and nights before the battle began. However there was a problem with this plan, many of the shells did not detonate and two thirds of over 1.7 million shells were shrapnel shells. Another tactic used was the digging and detonation of mines. 8 ‘mega mines’ had been set along an 18 mile front along with 11 other mines that would hopefully blow the german trenches apart minutes before the battle began. The Somme mines were the largest mines ever detonated yet in the war. John Simkin wrote in the Spartacus First World War Encyclopedia, that although the preliminary bombardment had the means to be successful, it was unable to break through the sophisticated German trenches. He also said that the Preliminary bombardment had the disadvantage of informing the…

More importantly, the battle resulted in the capture of Quebec, which in turn, led to the capture of the remaining French territories of North America.…

    Children of Gaza

    • 2 Pages

    The war at Gaza affected so many innocent lives, including the children and also the pregnant women. After watching the interview I felt really sad for the children who got killed and also for those who got injured/wounded. Knowing that there were hundreds of children that died in Gaza, hurts me so much.There were over a thousand children living there before, but now it's only down to less than 350 children. The people in Gaza cannot take refuge in other countries, they are just stuck in their own country where death is almost a part of their everyday lives. Pregnant women couldn't even get the medical attention they really need. The hospitals are always full of injured people and sometimes they are lacking the room for pregnant women who needs to give birth. Another issue is that the power outtage happens often, the babies who are supported by machines are also in great danger. The children, pregnant women, and the babies are all affected by the war. The children shouldn't be affected by this, they can't even play, watch the television or even get a decent education. They don't have anything to do than to hide from all the danger that the outside world brings. The sad thing about this is that almost everybody will have this experience with them throughout their entire lives, they will have to live with it. I hope that the people in Gaza, and especially the children, can get through this and I hope they can recover. My prayers are always with…
