Israeli media reported that over the past day, 103 soldiers of the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have been wounded in confrontations with the Resistance. Of the 103, it was reported that only 19 were wounded in confrontations with the Palestinian Resistance in the Gaza Strip, Haaretz reported.

According to this information, this would leave 84 occupation soldiers wounded outside of the Gaza strip, meaning either in the West Bank or at the front with the Lebanese Resistance.

Moreover, Haaretz underscored that two of those wounded were in serious condition, three of them were considered moderately wounded, while 98 were allegedly lightly wounded.

The health system, according to The Times of Israel, has so far treated 2,500 occupation soldiers out of the 13,000 allegedly wounded.

Reports further noted that the beds available for the rehabilitation system, as part of the $538 million budgeted for mental health, will be increased from 900 to 1500. In the future, "Israel" will add 2300 additional hospital beds and several so-called "resilience centers" to attend to the deteriorating mental health of Israeli occupation soldiers and settlers facing PTSD.

The Times of Israel also quoted the representative on behalf of the Israeli occupation's Security Ministry's Rehabilitation Division as saying, "If we don’t get additional resources and standards, we won’t be able to take care of everyone."
