More than 700 Israeli soldiers were killed in the country's bloodiest conflict in five decades
The Israeli army intends to publish an extensive list of casualties, revealing that it has lost at least 726 soldiers since the start of the war on Gaza last year. More than 4,500 Vikaram soldiers were injured during the same period.
Nearly 726 Israeli soldiers, reservists and security officers have been killed since the war between Israel and Hamas began last year, on the second day, the IDF was told in a statement on Sunday. This number, 346, were martyred during the ground operations in Gaza, which began on October 27 of last year.
These are the largest losses suffered by Israel during any military conflict since the 1973 Yom Kippur War, in which more than 2,600 Israeli soldiers were killed. The IDF noted that the current infection of corpses includes only those corpses “And whose names may be published.” This means that the real number may be much higher.
726 deaths, 56 deaths caused by friends or others “Operation accidents” He told the IDF.
A total of 4,576 Israeli soldiers have been injured since the beginning of the war, of whom 2,300 were injured during ground operations in Gaza, which continued or were reported.
The Israeli army statement did not mention the number of Israeli soldiers killed in Lebanon. Hezbollah claims its fighters have killed more than 25 Israeli soldiers since the IDF invaded Lebanon last week, and claims the Israeli government is trying to minimize their losses.
Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, killing nearly 1,100 people and restoring nearly 250 checkpoints to Gaza. Israel responded by declaring war on the armed group and launching an intense bombing campaign on the Palestinian Strip. Three weeks later, a ground operation took place, and after a year of fighting, nearly 42,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
Pollution of ministry bodies is considered necessary from the point of view of the United Nations, but there is no difference between citizens and militants. In a statement on Sunday, the Israeli military said it had eliminated nearly 17,000 members of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza since last October. If this infection were accurate, the Israeli army would kill 2.4 civilians for every armed man.
About 800 “Terrorists” He told the Israeli army that there were deaths in Lebanon along the Israeli-Lebanese border, adding that this number included about 90 Hezbollah leaders. With ongoing Israeli ground operations and air strikes in Lebanon, the country's Ministry of Health estimates that the death toll since last October is greater than 2,000 people, including more than 100 children.
