As the country marked half a year of war against Hamas, the IDF published new data Sunday on its operations in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and Lebanon, from the number of terror operatives killed to the number of sites struck.

A total of 604 soldiers, reservists, and local security officers have been killed and 3,193 have been wounded since October 7. Of them, 260 were killed and 1,552 were wounded during the ground offensive in Gaza.

The IDF also listed 41 soldiers killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents.

Question: Have Israelis, including military, been dying in this 'war' in any numbers since Oct 7, 2023? [View all] Rustynaerduwell Apr 2024 OP

I don't know but I do know... Think. Again. Apr 2024 #1

I've been wondering also. vanamonde Apr 2024 #2

You can wonder all you want, but don't ask about it. Rustynaerduwell Apr 2024 #42

Answer: Yes TheProle Apr 2024 #3

Israel has killed or captured 12,000+ Hamas members. Mosby Apr 2024 #6

That is not correct. You are including Oct 7 AloeVera Apr 2024 #11

Since when would you exclude the initial invasion that caused the conflict? TheProle Apr 2024 #13

Because the question was AFTER October 7 obamanut2012 Apr 2024 #15

Actually it was "since" TheProle Apr 2024 #17

Common mistake. AloeVera Apr 2024 #20

Apparently, many Israeli hostages were killed, in Gaza, since October 7. yardwork Apr 2024 #26

Terrible news and I hope it's not true. AloeVera Apr 2024 #57

We know for a fact that some are dead. yardwork Apr 2024 #59

I try my best not to do crap. AloeVera Apr 2024 #18

I did. "Since" is ambiguous and can be either inclusive of a date, or exclusive. TheProle Apr 2024 #19

In what way was my question intellectually dishonest? Rustynaerduwell Apr 2024 #23

You just described intellectual dishonesty... nt sarisataka Apr 2024 #24

? Rustynaerduwell Apr 2024 #31

When a person asks a question sarisataka Apr 2024 #36

So only questions in which you have "truly no idea" of the possible answer Rustynaerduwell Apr 2024 #38

Any question may be asked sarisataka Apr 2024 #39

I didn't know the answer. I only know (little) of the history. Rustynaerduwell Apr 2024 #41

Well to answer, yes there have been Israeli casualties sarisataka Apr 2024 #43

Yes you will, and you should. AloeVera Apr 2024 #44

Ask away TheProle Apr 2024 #45

I wasn't fishing for anything. Rustynaerduwell Apr 2024 #46

Apologies. I'm OCD about accuracy and facts. AloeVera Apr 2024 #50

As for the 12,000 Palestinians killed you quoted. AloeVera Apr 2024 #51

No one disallowed your question TheProle Apr 2024 #25

I think you did with your comment about my "intellectually dishonest" question. Rustynaerduwell Apr 2024 #30

Is your point Hamas sucks at warfighting? EX500rider Apr 2024 #32

I had no point. I was curious. I asked a question. Rustynaerduwell Apr 2024 #34

Well that is the correct answer, you are welcome EX500rider Apr 2024 #35

You are 100% correct obamanut2012 Apr 2024 #14

Doesn't state if those soldiers multigraincracker Apr 2024 #33

Numbers seem elusive but something like 100 killed, 600 wounded since Oct 7 dutch777 Apr 2024 #4

Don't forget the unknown number of civilian hostages killed in Gaza since Oct 7. yardwork Apr 2024 #27

Sadly, you are probably right, many of them are dead, caught in Israeli bombings or by neglect and abuse dutch777 Apr 2024 #62

Have any Hamas militants been dying in this "war"? maxsolomon Apr 2024 #5

Hamas won;t break out the deaths for propaganda reasons... Happy Hoosier Apr 2024 #7

I'm not sure if the "Genocide Joe" crowd understands that many Hamas fighters are in that number maxsolomon Apr 2024 #9

Per Times of Israel today - IDF numbers Nanjeanne Apr 2024 #8

Thanks Nanjeanne. See my post. AloeVera Apr 2024 #16

Not enough for some people apparently sarisataka Apr 2024 #10

Many would be delighted if there were a lot more dead Jews. DavidDvorkin Apr 2024 #22

Certainly no one here on DU (other than some rando, spun up burner troll accounts that are quickly MIRT'd) Celerity Apr 2024 #61

Here are the actual figures, per IDF and PM's office. AloeVera Apr 2024 #12

Excuse me... PCIntern Apr 2024 #21

No Rustynaerduwell Apr 2024 #40

Yes RandySF Apr 2024 #28

I don't know But the GD Butchers of HAMAS have just REJECTD A Cha Apr 2024 #29

Is this a contest or something? Elessar Zappa Apr 2024 #37

Apparently Ace Rothstein Apr 2024 #48

The media much prefer talking about Palestinian deaths. DavidDvorkin Apr 2024 #47

Yes, 4 IDF troops were killed in an ambush over the weekend. Ace Rothstein Apr 2024 #49

Are wars supposed to be fair or something? NT Happy Hoosier Apr 2024 #52

Are we supposed to not ask about casualties or something? Rustynaerduwell Apr 2024 #53

You can, but it was worded weirdly Happy Hoosier Apr 2024 #56

The thought never occurred to me. Rustynaerduwell Apr 2024 #58

Do you have to poke the bear? Lunabell Apr 2024 #54

You can count them. As of March 24 question everything Apr 2024 #55

Question: Were Gazans, including military, dying in this 'war' in any numbers before Oct 7, 2023? keithbvadu2 Apr 2024 #60

Google says 260 IDF killed in the ground invasion of Gaza. DemocraticPatriot Apr 2024 #63

If you have seen Mike Fuckabees commercials thousands of Israelis have been killed on the first Autumn Apr 2024 #64
