The genocide in Gaza has officially extended to its fourth month, with extensive revelations on the Israeli occupation forces' conduct and the destruction and chaos they have caused in the Strip.

Comparing the toll the harrowing Israeli war has imposed on both Gaza and among the ranks of the occupation, a certifiable discrepancy is recorded. In Gaza, over 25,000 martyrs were killed by the IOF, and the complete mass destruction of its infrastructure has been documented. "Israel" has seen attacks on the northern occupied territories, and 221 Israeli soldiers have been killed so far, following the elimination of 21 invading troops in one day, on Monday night.

But the question of integrity surrounds the numbers being released by Israeli authorities. It is a known fact that the occupation attempts to veil its losses which are then revealed by Israeli media.

But why?

The war on Gaza was vigorously launched for one explicit reason: to defeat the Palestinian Resistance. 

Since then, "Israel" attacked civilian infrastructure, violated international war laws by bombing hospitals and heritage sites, and killed civilians, women and children, almost exclusively. "Israel" has not materialized its goal, and the political ambiance incites unrest among cabinet members versus Benjamin Netanyahu's evident failure. 

"Israel's" recklessness exposed the occupied north to defensive attacks and abandoned settlers with no guarantees of return. The IOF's frenzies in Gaza also triggered an uprise against the war after Israeli captives were killed by "friendly fire" on several occasions. Israeli settlers are now and have been demanding a negotiation deal to release captives, even if a ceasefire was the Resistance's demand. 

In this case, the Resistance revealed that the only party hurdling negotiations were "Israel". 

Amid pressures from all sides and across all facets, the Netanyahu government was bound to conceal the reality to avoid more backlash. 

Wounded soldiers flood rehab centers 

Media censorship in "Israel" has been intense, but reports of the number of wounded soldiers revealed that "Israel" is not an almighty power that has rigorously risen throughout the war, but rather it suffered great losses at the hands of the Resistance. 

On Monday, the Israeli Security Ministry stated that over 4,500 soldiers are being treated in its rehabilitation center. The number, 4,544, is only restricted to present-time treatments, which could mean that previously wounded soldiers have completed treatment and have been discharged, mounting the losses the occupation has seen over the past four months. 

The Israeli Security Ministry added that an average of 60 soldiers are being admitted to rehab every day, most of whom are reservists under the age of 30. 

An example of misleading Israeli official reports is the announcement that since October 7, 2023, and the start of the Israeli occupation's incursion into the Gaza Strip, about 405 occupation soldiers suffering serious injuries have been transported to hospitals across occupied Palestine.

According to Ynet, around 13,572 Israeli occupation soldiers and settlers have actually been transported to hospitals since the launch of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. This number included those injured in the war in Gaza and at the northern front with Lebanon, according to Israeli media.

The "National Insurance Institute of Israel" revealed last week that 100 days into the war on Gaza, the number of Israelis injured has exceeded 50,000.

The Institute confirmed that 52,571 Israelis were injured and noted that it has disbursed over 5.5 billion shekels (about 1.5 million dollars) to them so far, highlighting the extent of the losses incurred.

It is noteworthy that the Israeli Institute did not address Israeli military casualties, mentioning only civilians. Among the 52,571 casualties, 102 sustained serious injuries and 171 sustained moderate ones.

Deals under the Resistance's conditions only

With that being confirmed, "Israel" has contemplated a temporary ceasefire. Israeli media has been reporting on draft resolutions to Qatari and Egyptian mediators for the genocide that include the prospect of a captives release deal and a two-month pause in fighting. 

Brett McGurk, President Biden's assistant, visited Egypt on Sunday and will then go to Qatar for discussions aimed at making progress in the negotiations to free Israeli captives while disregarding the thousands of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails. 

Israeli officials told Axios they are awaiting a response from Hamas regarding the potential deal, which includes the release of all remaining captives and a return of the bodies of those who have died. 

However, the Palestinian Resistance stated that only when a permanent ceasefire is on the table will negotiations over captives be held.
