Hebrew newspaper makes staggering revelation
TEHRAN- Despite attempts by Tel Aviv to conceal its military losses, the Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom has reported on statistics confirmed by Israel’s National Insurance that 62,000 soldiers have been physically and psychologically affected.
According to Israel Hayom, 740 million shekels have been paid in the form of compensation to those affected by the ongoing war, along with 12 million shekels for rehabilitation efforts and 61 million shekels for families of Israeli captives in Gaza.
The newspaper relied on data from the Israeli National Insurance, which acknowledged 62,000 soldiers are suffering both physically and psychologically, noting that these numbers are steadily increasing.
Critics say the figures expose what the occupation regime has tried to hide about its losses on the battlefield.
The government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has aimed to maintain morale among the occupation soldiers and on the domestic front.
Splits over the success of the war on Gaza between Israeli generals and Netanyahu along with his family and inner circle have played out into the open.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian resistance movement in the blockaded enclave continues its operations against the occupation forces, inflicting significant losses alongside escalated military action by Lebanon’s Hezbollah in solidarity with Gaza.
Adding pressure on the Netanyahu government is the military fronts that have opened over the past months in Yemen, Iraq, Iran, and Syria.
There has been a notable uptick in operations by Ansarullah in Yemen and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, both of whom have been recently waging operations in coordination with each other.
The Iraqi resistance bombarded another Israeli military target on Wednesday.
In a statement, it pledged to continue carrying out its operations in the face of the Israeli occupation in support of Gaza’s civilians and resistance forces.
The operation, carried out using a kamikaze drone, was staged against a “vital” Israeli target in the southern Palestinian city of Umm al-Rashrash, also known as Eilat.
The estimation of the occupation entity’s losses in this genocidal war on Gaza has not been limited to the injuries, disabilities and psychological trauma among the army ranks.
It also includes global isolation and severe economic losses prone to significant decline with each new escalation, especially involving Lebanon.
Shaul Goldstein, the CEO of Israel’s Noga Electricity Company, warned of prolonged power outages if the war with Hezbollah escalates, stating that “after 72 hours without electricity in Israel, living there would be impossible.”
These losses have been perceived by the Israeli public as a result of poor war management by the Netanyahu government and have driven many to protest repeatedly in various forms, including recent road closures in Tel Aviv demanding early elections.
Israeli media reported that anti-government protesters against closed Highway 4 northbound in the city of Hod Hasharon, setting car tires on fire and chanting “elections now”.
Experts say that despite being nowhere close to “absolute victory” in Gaza, which Netanyahu promised more than eight months ago, Tel Aviv has taken its frustration out over the failure to defeat the Palestinian resistance on Palestinian civilians.
265 days of Israeli genocide in Gaza have resulted in more than 37,700 deaths. Nearly 86,400 others have been injured, the majority of them women and children.
In the past 24 hours, the Israeli occupation forces committed four massacres in the enclave, killing 60 Palestinians and injuring 140 others, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
The ministry added that there are still victims trapped under the rubble, and ambulances and rescue crews are unable to reach them.
