12,000 Israeli soldiers injured during the aggression on Gaza and Lebanon

Figures from the Israeli Occupation Army's Rehabilitation Department revealed that 12,000 soldiers have received treatment in its units since the beginning of the aggression on the Gaza Strip, and then on Lebanon, two-thirds of whom are reserve forces, which is much higher than the official figures published by the Israeli army.


The Rehabilitation Administration expects the number of disabled Israeli soldiers to rise to 100,000 by 2030.


Figures published by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz show that 500 soldiers register with the department every month for treatment. They also show that 43% of the wounded received treatment for psychological trauma they suffered due to the war, and that about 1,500 of the wounded were wounded twice in battle.


These numbers are almost two and a half times higher than the number of injuries published by the Israeli occupation army on its website.


The Israeli army indicated in its latest statistics on its website today that 772 people were killed and 5,184 wounded since the beginning of the aggression, but it only spoke about about 300 soldiers currently being treated in hospitals.


It is noted from the official Israeli army figures that they do not address the number of psychological injuries, although they often practically neutralize the injured person and prevent him from rejoining his unit, or at least reduce his combat effectiveness.


Since October 8, 2023, the Israeli army, with American support, has been waging a large-scale aggression on the Gaza Strip, which has so far resulted in the martyrdom of about 43,000 Palestinians, in addition to more than 100,000 wounded and about 10,000 missing. The aggression expanded last month to Lebanon, where it resulted in the martyrdom of about 2,800 and the injury of 13,000.
