On December 9, Alrabiya**, citing 24 News TV reports, revealed that the Israeli army announced that five servicemen had been killed in the fighting in the Gaza Strip, and that the nephew of Gadi Eisenkot, the former chief of staff of the Israeli army and current minister of the War Council, had been killed on the battlefield in Gaza, while the Israeli army had just announced that his own son had died in Gaza a few days earlier.
Officially, the Israeli army has recorded 102 deaths in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the ground operation and 423 since the beginning of the war on 7 October. On the same day, Israeli advisers revealed that the Israeli army eliminated at least 7,000 Palestinian Hamas militants during the Gaza war.
7000 vs 423, it looks like the Israeli army won beautifully. But is that really the case?The report of "Novaya Izvestia" gave a negative answer - the Israeli army was very bad.
The "New Izvestia" broke the news: more than 100,000 Israeli soldiers entered the Gaza Strip to fight, the Israeli army's ** rate reached more than 60 people per day, since the Palestinian-Israeli war on October 7 has been fought for more than 60 days, the Israeli army has 5,000 dead and wounded, 58% of the hands and feet are seriously injured, 12% of the internal organs are ruptured, of which 2,000 wounded are recorded as "disabled", at least 100 wounded are blind.
Data from the Israeli Ministry of Defense** also shows that the Israeli army has an average of 60 wounded per day, most of them seriously. The head of the ** department of the Ministry of Defense, Limo Luria, quoted by Novaya Izvestia, as saying: "We have never experienced anything like it. More than 58% of the casualties we receive have serious hand or foot injuries that require amputation. ”
The Israeli offensive has also caused a serious humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. The death toll from Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 17,700 since October 7, most of them women and children, and another 48,780 injured, with 210 dead and 2,300 injured in the past few hours being taken to hospitals, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced late Saturday.
It is worth noting that both Israel and Palestine have suffered heavy losses, but the United States has vetoed the United Nations resolution calling for a ceasefire between the two sides and will not allow Israel to cease fighting. On Friday, the UN Security Council's draft resolution calling for a "ceasefire" in the Gaza Strip was supported by at least 97 UN member states, and 13 other members of the Security Council voted in favor of it, but it was not passed because the United States used its veto.
Commenting on the US veto of the draft resolution on the ceasefire in Gaza, the speaker of the Turkish parliament, Numan Kurturmush, said: "From now on, the United States will have the blood of every Palestinian victim on its hands." Palestine ** Abbas condemned the use of the U.S. veto by accusing the U.S. position of being "aggressive and immoral" and arguing that Washington "is responsible for the blood of Palestinian children, women and the elderly flowing in the Gaza Strip."
On December 9, Israeli news **axios, citing the senior level of the Israeli Ministry of Defense**, reported that the Israeli army has arrived in the center of Khan Younis, the largest city in the southern Gaza Strip, and the fierce fighting of the Israeli army in Khan Younis will continue for 3-4 weeks. This means that more Israeli soldiers will die in Gaza.
