Unveiling the Truth: Military Expert Claims Israeli Casualties in Gaza Conflict Exceed Official Reports

The military and strategic expert, Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, has raised significant concerns regarding the Israeli military's reported casualties in the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip. According to Al-Duwairi, the actual losses of the Israeli army are much higher than the figures publicly announced, with the death toll reportedly reaching 700 since the conflict escalated on October 7. He attributes this discrepancy to various factors, including the classification of casualties, which may exclude certain individuals based on their contract status or identity. Al-Duwairi highlights that thousands of mercenaries are allegedly fighting alongside the Israeli forces, yet these individuals are not included in the official casualty reports due to their contractual arrangements. Additionally, he notes that Jewish individuals living abroad who join the Israeli military are not counted among the fatalities. In contrast, Jewish citizens residing in Israel, along with Arab and Druze soldiers, are accounted for in the military's death toll due to post-mortem privileges. He asserts that the actual number of casualties among the Israeli forces is significantly underestimated, supported by evidence from resistance operations and videos released since the onset of the war. The resistance factions have been actively targeting Israeli military vehicles and personnel, further contributing to the rising casualty figures. Recently, the Israeli army confirmed the death of Sergeant Amit Tsadikov, a 20-year-old soldier from the Paratroopers Brigade, killed by an explosive device in Khan Yunis. This incident has prompted Israeli media to describe the army's death toll as an 'unimaginable number.'
