Israel occupation forces ‘exhausted, lost 12 battalions’ in Gaza war, say media

Israeli media outlets have revealed that while the Israel occupation forces have been talking for weeks about a systematic “reduction” of Lebanese Hezbollah’s capabilities, the army is not talking about the extent of the “reduction” in its own capabilities over the past year of war against the Palestinians in Gaza, as well as the daily exchanges of fire with Hezbollah in the north.

Azoulay’s report confirmed that in the past year, the army lost more than 700 soldiers in Gaza, with an unprecedented number wounded to varying degrees. The latter is estimated to be as many as 11,000 combat troops.
He pointed out that according to the rehabilitation department in the Israeli Ministry of Defence, the number of wounded soldiers increases every month by about 1,000. This is the largest number of wounded that the Israeli army has ever known, with the equivalent of 12 battalions taken out of action.
Both the regular forces and reserves who will fight on the northern front — which is considered more difficult, larger, more complex and more challenging — are exhausted from the endless war in Gaza, said Azoulay. He accused the political echelon in Tel Aviv of being responsible for this situation, as it was unable to manage any strategy for its actions in Gaza, while clearly ignoring the war of attrition in the north that has lasted for many long months.
