Israel has been waging war against the terrorist organization Hamas for almost six months, and the losses are enormous, especially on the Palestinian side. But the Israeli army also complains about casualties almost every day.
According to Israeli figures, a total of 600 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the beginning of the war against the radical Islamic Hamas in the Gaza Strip. An Israeli army spokesman announced the death of 20-year-old Nadav Cohen from Haifa – bringing to 600 the number of soldiers killed in Israel and the Palestinian territories since the war began on October 7. The list published by the Israeli army on its website includes soldiers and reservists.
According to a count based on Israeli data, at least 256 of the 600 soldiers in the Gaza Strip were killed. More than half of the 600 soldiers died in Hamas’ unprecedented terrorist attack on Israel.
Other soldiers have been killed in armed clashes in the occupied West Bank or on the border with Lebanon, where there have been almost daily firefights between Israel and the Hamas-allied pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia since October 7. According to the Israeli army, more than 1,523 soldiers have been injured since the start of its ground operation in the Gaza Strip.
According to Israeli reports, at least 1,160 people were killed in the major attack by the Islamist terrorist organization Hamas and around 250 were kidnapped as hostages in the Gaza Strip. Israel then declared that it would destroy Hamas and has since taken massive military action in the Gaza Strip. According to the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health, which cannot be independently verified, more than 32,700 people were killed.
