"The current war is the longest, and the most complex in Israel's history since its establishment in 1948. The longest war that Israel was involved with was the Arab-Israeli war in 1948, which started on 30th of November 1947 until the 20th of July 1949". Professor Raffi Mann, reporting to SBS Hebrew, with news and current affairs from Israel (23.2.24)
