Nearly 12,000 Israeli forces killed, injured; military underreporting: Opposition leader
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid says nearly 12,000 Israeli forces have been killed or injured in the regime's ongoing war in West Asia.
“Eleven thousand soldiers were injured and 890 others killed,” Lapid told Israel’s Channel 12, adding that more will be killed if the far-right administration of Benjamin Netanyahu "doesn’t do anything.”
“It cannot be said that this didn’t happen. It cannot be ignored that 11,000 soldiers are injured and 890 others killed.”
According to Quds News Network, Lapid stressed that the military doesn’t disclose the real casualty figures.
“There are limits to how much we accept the alternative facts,” he said, emphasizing that the figures that he provided are “correct.”
“If you have any doubt about these data, you should go to the hospitals: Tel HaShomer, Ichilov, Rambam,” he added.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed at least 42,924 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 100,000 others. Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under rubble.
Israel has also been targeting Lebanon since October 2023, when it launched the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah has been responding to the aggression with numerous retaliatory operations.
Since late September, Israel has escalated its strikes against Hezbollah, killing its leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and a number of its senior figures.
At least 2,672 people have been killed by Israeli fire, and 12,468 others wounded since the clashes began last year, according to the health ministry.
The Lebanese resistance movement has vowed to keep up its operations against Israel as long as the Israeli regime continues its Gaza war.
