New Delhi:
Israel-Hamas war: Fighting is going on in Gaza between Israeli Army, IDF and Hamas fighters. In such a situation, a news has come in the media which can trouble the supporters of Israel all over the world. According to these media reports, many Israeli soldiers have been killed while fighting in Gaza for more than a year. It is being claimed in these reports that Israel is now facing a severe shortage of soldiers. Additionally, it is also being said that Israel’s state-of-the-art Merkava-4 Barak main battle tank is gathering dust in Gaza. With these developments making headlines, an important question emerging is whether Benjamin Netanyahu’s war policy has failed?
The war has been going on for more than a year
After the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had announced that Israel would eliminate Hamas from Gaza. Israel’s operation has been going on for more than a year. This operation has become an important challenge for the Israeli Army. Israel has bombed Gaza extensively, yet Israel has been unable to defeat Hamas. But now it is also being said that Israel is now struggling with the shortage of soldiers. Media reports are claiming that to overcome this shortage, Israel is preparing to recruit mercenaries in its armed forces. Recently, Russia, which was at war with Ukraine for two and a half years, had also done something similar.
how many israeli soldiers died
It is being claimed in the report that since October 7, 2023, about 783 Israeli soldiers have died. Also, around 12,000 have been injured due to this war. It is also being said that the number of soldiers killed could be much more than this. Apart from this, around 140 soldiers are so injured that they will have to live with someone’s support in future.
Soldiers’ ultimatum to the government
A few days ago a report came in which it was said that thousands of soldiers had even given an ultimatum to the government not to go to war. These people were pressurizing the government to reach an agreement for the release of the hostages. He was also talking about ending the war as soon as possible. It is even said that after seeing the horrors of war with their own eyes, many people are facing mental illnesses. It has come to light that some soldiers even committed suicide. Many soldiers are not even ready to go back to war.
Israel found a way
Due to such situation, there is concern in Israel. Israel is also ready to recruit mercenaries into its army to improve the condition of the soldiers and continue the war. We cannot confirm the news. But, reports say that the Israeli army has also offered citizenship to foreign soldiers as an incentive to recruit them.
It is being said that the Israeli army is now working on creating a buffer zone between Gaza and Israel. But the Israeli military has ruled out creating a permanent buffer zone and Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has said that Palestinians displaced from their homes in northern Gaza will be allowed to return at the end of the war.
