784 Israeli officers, soldiers injured since start of ground operation in Gaza
JERUSALEM (AA) – At least 784 Israeli officers and soldiers have been injured since the start of the ground war in the Gaza Strip on October 27, the Israeli army has said.
About 179 of the wounded were seriously injured, 302 sustained moderate injuries while 303 others had minor injuries, the army said in a statement.
The army also said that 139 officers and soldiers have been killed since the beginning of the ground operation in the Gaza Strip.
Since the beginning of the war, 471 officers and soldiers have been killed, while at least 1,952 Israeli officers and soldiers have been injured, the army stated, noting that among them, 311 sustained serious injuries, 548 sustained moderate injuries, and 1,093 had minor injuries.
Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip since the October 7 attack by Hamas, killing at least 20,057 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 53,320 others, according to health authorities in the enclave.
With health infrastructure completely damaged as hospitals have been targeted repeatedly, the injured have no access to medical care, leading to unspeakable suffering.
The Israeli onslaught has left Gaza in ruins with half of the coastal territory’s housing stock damaged or destroyed, and nearly 2 million people displaced within the densely-populated enclave amid severe shortages of food and clean water.
