[Regnum] Since the beginning of the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in October 2023, nine mobilized Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers with Russian citizenship have died. This was reported on April 4 at the Israeli embassy in the Russian Federation. The diplomatic mission added that among the military personnel there are many Russians with dual citizenship. As Regnum reported, as of October 20 last year, after the situation in the Middle East worsened, 20 Russians, including civilians and military and law enforcement officials, were killed as a result of attacks from the Gaza Strip. All of them also had Israeli citizenship. The representative of the Ministry of Health of the Palestinian enclave, Ashraf al-Qudra, reported on January 25 that the number of people killed as a result of strikes and actions of the Israel Defense Forces in the Gaza Strip had increased to 25,900, and the number of victims exceeded 64 thousand. On October 7, another escalation of the long-standing confrontation between Palestinians and Israelis began. Then the Palestinian Hamas movement launched a massive rocket attack on Israeli territory and captured several settlements. The IDF responded by striking the Gaza Strip and regaining control of the towns adjacent to the enclave. On October 8, the Israeli authorities announced the transfer of the state to a state of war. |
