Since October 7, 2023, Israel has reportedly lost more than 400 soldiers in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and the West Bank. In addition, 28 Israeli soldiers committed suicide in 2024.

The Israeli press published a comparative analysis of the damage suffered by Lebanon and Israel during the two-month war between Hezbollah and the Israeli army.

At least 25 Israeli soldiers have been wounded in clashes in southern Lebanon over the past 24 hours. There are also a number of victims, among them, as a result of the clash with Hezbollah, the reserve major of the Israeli army, the deputy commander of the 9308th battalion of the 228th "Alon" brigade, Aviram Harib, and 27-year-old Sa'ar Eliad Navarski, from the 7338th "Adirim" artillery regiment, died.

More than 10,000 of the Israeli soldiers carrying out massacres in Gaza have applied to the Department of Rehabilitation of the Ministry of Defense with various injuries and mental disorders. Soldiers of the occupying army mainly complained of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, adjustment and communication problems. More than 3,700 were injured in the head, arms, legs and eyes.

Fitch is concerned that the conflict will continue until 2025, expand on other fronts, and lead to further increases in military spending and debt burdens. In addition to the human cost, the conflict could lead to infrastructure destruction and long-term economic consequences, including reduced investment and industrial activity, the agency warned.

36-year-old Major Yitzhar Hoffman, a high-ranking officer of the Israeli army, was killed by Hamas in northern Gaza. The number of Israeli soldiers killed in Gaza reached 561. There are tens of thousands of injured people.
