Israeli Military in Crisis: Shocking Trauma Report from the Gaza War Exposes Hidden Reality [Video]

Israeli Military in Crisis: Shocking Trauma Report from the Gaza War Exposes Hidden Reality

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. #GazaWar #IsraeliMilitary #TraumaReport #PTSD #WarCasualties #IsraelVsGaza #MilitaryImpact #Hamas #ConflictReport #MiddleEastCrisis #HumanCost #UnderreportedCasualties ~PR.274~ED.101~GR.124~
