Israeli Media: 1000 Soldiers Wounded Monthly in War on Gaza

Different Israeli media confirmed about 1000 soldiers are wounded and registered in the Ministry of War’s Rehabilitation Department every month. This is due to Israel’s ongoing war on the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority (KAN) reported that more than 13,500 Israeli soldiers wounded have been registered in the Ministry of War’s Rehabilitation Department since 7 October, 2023.

It explained that 51% of the wounded are under the age of 30, noting that 43% of the wounded suffer from psychological trauma.

Last August, the number of disabled in the occupation army who received treatment in the Ministry’s Rehabilitation Department from all the wars that Israel fought reached 72,056. These include soldiers and officers who suffered from mental and psychological disorders and trauma. It pointed however that more than 10,000 were added during the war on Gaza.

The Israeli Ministry of War estimated that by the end of 2024, the Rehabilitation Department will have to care for about 82,000 disabled soldiers, adding more than 20,000 wounded and disabled as a result of the present ongoing war on Gaza.

However, the occupation army has only admitted – according to its website – to only 5,550 soldiers and officers that have been injured since the beginning of the war, 2,504 of whom since the start of the ground operation in the Gaza Strip on 27 October, 2023.

The Israeli occupation army, supported by the United States and Europe, continued its aggression on the Gaza Strip since 7 October, 2023, where its aircraft have bombed the vicinity of hospitals, buildings, towers and homes of Palestinian civilians and destroyed them over the heads of their residents, and prevented the entry of water, food, medicine and fuel.

The aggression left about 154,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and elderly people, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world according Quds Press.
