In a shocking revelation, the Israeli Ministry of Military Affairs reports that over 10,000 Israeli forces have been affected by trauma in the ongoing Gaza conflict. The report highlights severe physical injuries, with 37% of troops suffering from limb trauma and 35% diagnosed with PTSD. Since the war began on October 7 last year, more than 300 Israeli forces have died. This escalation, which began as a response to the al-Aqsa Storm operation by Gaza’s resistance groups, has led to nearly 40,000 Palestinian deaths, predominantly women and children. As Israeli authorities release casualty figures sparingly, questions arise about whether the true cost of the war is being hidden. Hamas demands a ceasefire and the return of captives, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to continue until Hamas is eliminated—a goal deemed impossible by many. Explore the impact of this ongoing conflict and the controversy surrounding the reporting of casualties.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards has begun military drills amid the expectation it will retaliate against Israel over the killing of a senior Hamas member. Sky News
A confrontation between Iran's newly elected President Masoud Pezeshkian and some hardliners within the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has cast uncertainty over Iran's response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. The Iranian government is at odds over how to retaliate against Israel following the killing of Haniyeh, according to The Telegraph. The IRGC is reportedly pushing for a direct and severe missile strike on Tel Aviv and other major Israeli cities. However, President Pezeshkian, who assumed office just days before the assassination, is pushing back against this aggressive strategy.

The IRGC Navy received 2,640 new equipment pieces, including radar-evading cruise missiles, long-range and medium-range missiles, and drones. Major General Salami emphasized the importance of self-sufficient naval forces. The handover, which included advanced warships and new catamarans named after 1980s commanders, comes amid Iran's plans for potential action against Israel. Iran’s military advancements focus on self-reliance and defense, with no negotiations on its capabilities.
