Tension in the Zionist Army: From the Battle of Gaza to Suicides in the Barracks.
Reports of Israeli army casualties show that since the beginning of July, the Israeli army has faced a significant increase in human casualties. In less than two weeks, at least 13 Israeli soldiers have died in field operations, resistance attacks, and even suicide attacks.
On July 2, an Israeli soldier was killed when an anti-tank missile hit a Merkava tank in the Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City. On July 4, another soldier lost his life; one in an operational incident in the northern Gaza Strip and the other in a resistance missile attack on a tank in Khan Yunis.
On July 6, an Israeli soldier who had a history of fighting in Gaza and Lebanon set himself on fire in his private car after suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). On July 7, five Israeli soldiers were killed in a deadly ambush involving an explosion and shooting in Beit Hanoun, located in the northern Gaza Strip.
Also on July 8, an Israeli soldier committed suicide by shooting himself in a base in the southern occupied territories. The following day, a retired army bulldozer driver was shot and killed in the Khan Yunis area during a clash with Palestinian resistance forces attempting to arrest him.
On July 10, the body of an Israeli army reservist was reportedly found in the Har Homa neighborhood in southern occupied Jerusalem. On July 11, an army officer with the rank of captain died in a bomb explosion in Khan Yunis.
