Report: Nearly 900 Israeli Soldiers Killed During Gaza War

That’s the highest number of military members killed since the Yom Kippur war in 1973.

During the 10 years before the current war, a total of 152 Israeli soldiers were killed, including during Operation Protective Edge in the summer of 2014, it added.

Israeli Army Radio has also reported 28 Israeli soldiers have committed suicide since the beginning of the war, including 16 reservists, the highest number in 13 years.

The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation also reported on Monday that more than 13,500 Israelis have been injured and admitted for treatment at the rehabilitation department since the onset of war in the besieged enclave.

Israel’s October 2023-present genocidal war on the Gaza Strip has killed more than 45,500 people, mostly children and women, and injured over 108,000 others.

The figures exclude tens of thousands of dead who are believed to be buried in the bombed-out ruins of homes, shops, shelters and other buildings.

The military campaign has turned much of the enclave of 2.3 million people into ruins, leaving most civilians homeless and at risk of famine. The Palestinian territory has been identified as one of the places most likely to see deadly hunger levels in the coming months, according to a new report by United Nations food agencies.

Last month, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for its deadly war on Gaza.
