“Three hundred and nineteen soldiers were killed during their military service since Israel’s last Memorial Day, according to figures released by the Defense Ministry on Friday, highlighting the devastating toll of the wars fought in Gaza and Lebanon over the last year.
Another 61 disabled veterans died due to complications from injuries sustained during their service, the ministry said.
The numbers brought the total to 25,420 of those who have died during service to the country since 1860, the year from which Israel, and before it the Jewish community in the region, began counting its fallen soldiers and defenders. […]
Since the start of the war, which began on October 7, 2023, with the Hamas terror group’s onslaught in southern Israel, 928 soldiers and members of security forces have been killed. They include 809 IDF soldiers, 39 local security officers, 70 police officers, and 10 Shin Bet members. […]
Seventy-nine names were also added to the list of terror victims who perished in attacks in the past year, bringing the total to 5,229 since 1851, according to Israel’s National Insurance Institute. […]
Since the start of the war, 934 civilians have been killed, 778 of them in the October 7 onslaught, the Institute said. They include 615 men and 319 women, according to the Institute’s figures. Among them are 58 children under the age of 18 and 76 foreign nationals, it said.”
