Israeli war casualties: 12,500 soldiers expected to be disabled this year


Authorities in Israel are reporting record numbers of military casualties, as the army engages Hamas fighters in the ground offensive in Gaza. Israel’s rehabilitation authority estimates that more than 12,000 soldiers will suffer physical disabilities this year, as a result of injuries on the battlefield.

  1. Now count the number of Palestinians where children, men and women who have had amputations. They have no rehabilitation facilities because Isreal have bombed all buildings… so sad. Natenyahu does not care about any one whether Israeli or Palestinian as long as it’s not his children injured

  2. And that's against an opponent who don't even have a proper army. You get the best weapons, best protective gears, supplies, medic and everything. One can only imagine what will happen if they had to fight an equal force.

  3. For all the ones that criticize israel contemplate these 2 facts
    1) Gaza was given to the Gazans in 2005, from that moment it became an Islamic ''state'' and misery was declared
    2) Do you ever question Hamas appropriating food and medicine as well gasoline for only themselves? Do you ever question why not 1 Gazan was given protection in Hamas complex underground infrastructure, paid by the billions of USD sent by foreign entities to help Gazans?
    Hamas is been the real curse for Gazans….you keep on blaming Israel….I hope the settlers will be dismantle and Gazans will live under a rule of law and justice and not an Islamic state (which guarantee misery and lack of freedom)
    Whoever doesnt recognize those two facts is just rejecting reality

  4. I assume the IDF leadership are professional enough to realize this level of casualties is not sustainable. Each wounded soldier is a massive future burden on the state plus there are the opportunity costs of losing an able bodied person plus the wounded is now unusable as a combat soldier . Israels population is not big enough to sustain these losses the current strategy is not working. I assume the Israeli government and IDF are still targeting the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians in Gaza ? If so then the IDF have to find another way to displace/ expel the Palestinians.

  5. Dude, you got amputated under anaesthesia… there are hundreds of Palestinian kids who had to get limbs cut off without any sedatives… so yeah.. enjoy your life

  6. He was asleep and they amputated his leg, in Gaza small children are getting their legs amputated while being awake and without any pain killers. Shame on isreal

  7. Strange thing – two days ago Israel issued a list of the names of 195 army deaths since the invasion of Gaza and every single one was of the rank of sergeant and above. Does Israel have no privates or corporals in its army? This requires an explanation.

  8. More than 100 days since the genocide in Gaza before the eyes of the world 🇵🇸💔
    Stand for freedom, advocate for justice. Free Palestine, Stop Genocide. 🇵🇸✊

  9. It was their choice to go there now they end up like this…

    And then there are kids with no choice having their legs removed with no anaesthetic, no rehab, no facilities, no families and no home to go to.

  10. They do it for the love of their country, to defend it from the threat of annihilation. Israel is going to win this war, no doubt about. The stunt pulled off on 7 October was the biggest mistake Hamas ever made. While everyone feels sympathy for the innocent victims of war (and it happens in every war), the Palestinians will have learned a lesson about allowing extremist leadership to bring ruin on their people, just as the Germans had to learn about their equivalent of Hamas the Nazis.

  11. Now understand. Until the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ. From 1948. Nobody could defeat Israel.
    Amos 9 :14-15 The Restoration of Israel
    14 “Also I shall bring back the exiles of My people Israel, And they will rebuild the deserted and ruined cities and inhabit them: They will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit.
    15 “I will also plant them on their land, And they shall never again be uprooted from their land Which I have given them,” Says the Lord your God.

    Zechariah 12 :3 Jerusalem to Be Attacked
    3 And in that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will come and be gathered against it.

    The 1967 Six-Day War Israel defeated the Arab armies, gained territory four times its original size, and became the preeminent military power in the region. [][],.,..,..,,,,..

  12. Are we supposed to feel sad for the soldier who lost a limb ? Try being the Palestinian who had to bury his children because their house was bombed by Israel.
