The Israeli regime has recorded more than 18,500 injuries among its forces since the start of its military campaign against the Gaza Strip, according to a report published Monday by Israeli Channel 12. The figures underscore the growing toll of nearly ten months of warfare, with a significant number of those wounded suffering from both physical and psychological trauma.

According to the report, at least 12,500 troops sustained physical injuries, while more than 10,000 others are dealing with post-traumatic stress and other psychological conditions, reflecting the intensity of combat and the deep mental strain within the ranks of the Israeli occupation forces.

The data revealed that 33% of the physical injuries involved the limbs, 13% affected the head, eyes, or ears, and 7% were related to the spine, neck, or back, which are injuries typically associated with high-intensity urban warfare and repeated exposure to explosions.

Majority of casualties from reserve units

The report noted that 65% of those injured belong to the reserve forces, 18% to the regular army, 10% to police and other security units, and 7% to permanent military personnel. Women accounted for 7% of the total number of wounded.

The breakdown illustrates the extensive military and psychological attrition experienced by the Israeli occupation forces, as the war in Gaza nears its tenth month and resistance operations continue across multiple fronts inside the Strip.
