| Over 1,600 Israeli troops injured in Gaza war: Media | |
| 2014-08-07 | |
[Iran Press TV] Israeli media reports say dozens of Israeli soldiers have been killed and over 1,600 maimed as the result of Tel Aviv's offensive on the besieged Gazoo Strip.
The Israeli media outlets put the number of civilians injured during the onslaught at above 680. They were maimed after Paleostinian resistance fighters fired barrage of rockets into Israel in retaliation for deadly attacks on the blockaded Paleostinian enclave. Israeli military also says it lost nearly 64 troops in festivities with Paleostinian resistance fighters, but Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, says near 150 Israeli soldiers have been killed, which is seen as the heaviest loss of life for the Israeli military in years. Israel has so far kept the public in the dark about the exact number of casualties. The rising corpse count of Israeli forces during the ongoing assault on Gazoo has prompted growing opposition to the war among the Israeli public. Thousands of Israelis have held several rallies against Tel Aviv's war on Gazoo over the past few days. Demonstrators from left-wing and anti-war have strongly criticized authorities for dragging Israel into repeated wars and military actions. A recent survey by the Israeli institute, Panels Politics, revealed that 66 percent of Israel's public believes the war did not achieve its objectives. This comes as Israeli forces have retreated from Gazoo, claiming that they have achieved their main goals. The Israeli military aggression has also taken the lives of more than 1,875 Paleostinians, mostly civilians, and maimed over 9,600 others in Gazoo since July 8. | |

| #2 That is the thing with a long, drawn out conflict. The butcher's bill is always higher. |

| #1 The longer the Paleo situation remains unresolved to both sides' mutual satisfaction + peace, Israel's casualties will only grow higher-n-higher in coming wars. The Paleos will also be that much harder to defeat. |
