The Israeli occupation has been concealing its losses during the clashes with the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip. Nevertheless, the Israeli occupation admits only small numbers of its deaths and injuries. The numbers issued by the Israeli media are refuted by the resistance’s daily statements and videos, which show the large number of Israeli losses in individuals and military vehicles.
“Israel is paying a heavy price because it has lost many soldiers.” A frank admission by the head of the occupation government, Benjamin Netanyahu, that undermines the limited numbers recognized by his Ministry of “Defense” regarding the number of dead, which did not exceed 102 officers and soldiers, and hundreds of wounded since the start of the ground incursion into the Gaza Strip.
Yesterday, the Zionist newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth revealed what it called “astronomical numbers” of the injured occupation officers and soldiers, saying: “The cumulative numbers since October 7 are astronomical numbers. More than 5,000 wounded soldiers arrived at hospitals, and more than 2,000 were officially recognized as disabled.”
The newspaper quoted the head of the rehabilitation department at the Ministry of War as saying: We receive 60 wounded every day, and most of the injuries are serious. We have never experienced anything similar to this. More than 58 percent of the wounded we receive suffer from serious injuries to the hands and feet, including those that require… amputations, and about 12 percent are injuries to the spleen and kidneys and rupture of internal organs, and there are also injuries to the head and eyes, indicating that 7 percent suffer from psychological illnesses, a number that will rise sharply because every physically injured person suffers psychologically, and cases of psychological injuries are always discovered after months or more of war.
As the number of occupation deaths increased, its media reported that the majority of them were killed as a result of exposure to anti-armor missiles, despite the presence of the “Wind Coat” system, which is an anti-armor missile system.
Resistance strikes during clashes with the occupation forces penetrating into the Gaza Strip forced dozens of the Israeli soldiers to flee, as enemy media revealed on November 27th that the occupation army had dismissed a squad commander and his deputy due to the escape of their squad members during clashes with the resistance.
Military analysts of the Israeli occupation acknowledged that the battle in Gaza is more difficult than expected, resulting in damage to the forces, as 102 officers and soldiers were killed, and the number will rise as long as the fighting continues in its current form, stressing that the coming weeks will be complicated.
While the resistance continues to confront the occupation and targets its tanks and advanced vehicles supplied by the United States on all axes of the incursion, causing its soldiers to be killed or injured and their vehicles to be destroyed, the enemy’s media acknowledges this indirectly, stressing that the statements of the occupation officials about achieving most of the goals for which the war was launched, are refuted by the reality on the ground, which is completely different, as the Palestinians continue to fight more than two months after the start of the war, causing losses among the ranks of the occupation army.
The Palestinian resistance confirms that the Zionist enemy has been facing resistance men in the field. These resistance fighters confront the Israeli incursions on all fronts, and continue to target occupation settlements. The resistance fighters do not know anything called surrender or fail, and their constant slogan is “victory or martyrdom.”
