On Sunday, marking the ongoing war's sixth month, Israeli media acknowledged the extent of human losses incurred by the occupation's forces during the war.

According to published data, which are greatly underreported, 604 soldiers have been killed since October 7, 2023, with 260 of those casualties occurring during the ground invasion of Gaza. Furthermore, among the total number of soldiers killed, 41 died in operational incidents, with the breakdown as follows: 20 Israeli soldiers were killed by "friendly fire," 5 in "weapon violations," and 16 in "weapons and ramming accidents."

Regarding the wounded, a total of 3,188 soldiers were injured, with 497 classified as seriously injured. Throughout the six months of the war, the Israeli Air Force conducted approximately 950 helicopter evacuations, transporting around 1,300 wounded individuals.

Israeli media released data on psychological issues among Israeli soldiers during the war, indicating that approximately 10,500 soldiers were exposed to traumatic events.

Israeli acknowledgments of the extent of their losses persist as the Palestinian Resistance continued as intense confrontations with the occupation forces invading the Gaza Strip. Furthermore, the forces have suffered major losses from the Lebanon Support Front as well as fronts in Iraq, Yemen, and Syria.

Majority of Israelis are dissatisfied with results of war: Poll

On that note, a new opinion poll, published in the Israeli newspaper Maariv on Sunday, revealed that 62% of Israelis are dissatisfied with the outcomes of the war on Gaza. In contrast, 29% expressed satisfaction, while 9% responded with "I don't know."

The poll was conducted on April 3 by one of the research centers in the occupation entity, with 528 participants aged eighteen and above. This sample represents settlers from various parts of occupied Palestine.

Participants in the poll were asked the following question: "These days, half a year has passed since the war. When you consider the war overall, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the results achieved so far?"

Situation is worse than expected: Israeli media

On the 184th day of the war on Gaza, sirens continued to blare in the settlements surrounding the region, signaling persistent security threats. According to Israeli media, "Israel" did not anticipate the prolonged difficulties following the war, particularly in achieving its objectives, notably the elimination of the Palestinian Resistance.

He further notes that six months after the war and the outbreak of the northern front with Lebanon, it remains uncertain when the residents of the northern settlements will be able to return to their homes. Additionally, there is ambiguity surrounding the assurance of security in this region in the coming six months.

The same media outlet also highlighted the ongoing internal division in "Israel", emphasizing that "after half a year, we are still tearing ourselves apart from the inside." This refers to the demonstrations against the Israeli Prime Minister.
