The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have admitted to the killing of an officer and a soldier among their ranks during confrontations with the Resistance in Gaza on Friday. 

Israeli media reported that the occupation's military soldiers were killed in northern and southern Gaza.

This raises the Israeli military death toll to 474, with1929 injured since October 7, amid the relentless defense the Resistance has been conducting following the Israeli ground invasion of Gaza.

On Thursday, the IOF also revealed that six of its soldiers, five of whom were officers, were killed. As a result of the military losses the IOF has seen since they invaded the strip, the Golani Brigade's 13th Battalion was forced to retreat.

Earlier, Israeli newspaper Haaretz revealed that over 2,800 Israeli soldiers have been admitted to rehab as a consequence of the war, for war trauma and psychological difficulties. 

High rates of trauma among Israelis amid war on Gaza

Last week, the social and environmental correspondent of the Israeli newspaper Maariv, Yuval Bagno, stated that a 90% increase in the consumption of psychotropic medication as a result of war trauma has been recorded since October 7 in "Israel". 

He added that the Israeli Public Health Association has seen an influx in requests from Israelis asking for professional help as they develop a borderline addiction to these medications.

Haaretz cited the Public Health Services and stated that in October, the number of prescriptions for nerve medications related to psychological disorders and panic treatment increased by 11% compared to the preceding month.

Additionally, Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth mentioned that "direct exposure to attacks has led to a threefold increase in the risk of mental disorders". It stated that after two months of war, "many are experiencing distress or a psychological crisis; some are struggling to return to their routine lives, while others suffer from psychological disorders and continuous pain."

About a month after the war, Israeli website Walla! revealed a sixfold increase in phone calls seeking psychological assistance.
