At Least 1,580 Israeli Soldiers Injured in Ground Offensive in Gaza

Gaza, MINA – At least 1,584 soldiers have been injured in Israel’s ground offensive in the Gaza Strip since last October, the military said on Thursday, Anadolu Agency reports.

Some 321 soldiers were in serious condition in the ground attack that started on Oct. 27, 2023, military figures showed.

According to the military, some 247 soldiers are still receiving medical treatment at hospitals.

At least 606 Israeli soldiers have been killed in the Gaza conflict since Oct. 7, including 261 in the ground offensive, the army said.

Israel has waged a brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023. More than 34,300 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and nearly 77,300 others injured amid mass destruction and severe shortages of necessities.

More than six months into the Israeli war, vast swathes of Gaza lay in ruins, pushing 85 per cent of the enclave’s population into internal displacement amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine, according to the UN. (T/RE1/P2)
