The Ministry of Defense of the occupying entity stated that the number of soldiers injured with disabilities as a result of the aggression on Gaza is 12,500 soldiers, according to what Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported.

The newspaper also added that the Rehabilitation Department of Soldiers in the Ministry of Defense dealt with 3,400 soldiers classified as disabled in the army since last October 7.

On the other hand, the toll of victims of the Israeli bombing on the Gaza Strip reached 22,438 dead, and the wounded amounted to 57,614 since October 7 in the latest estimates of the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Health, Ashraf Al-Qudrah, said: "The Israeli forces committed 13 massacres against families, resulting in 125 martyrs and 318 wounded during the past 24 hours."

Al-Qudrah also pointed out that 70% of the victims of the ongoing Israeli bombing on the Gaza Strip are children and women, along with the martyrdom of 263 medical staff, and the arrest of 99 others, including hospital directors in northern Gaza.

He indicated that the Israeli forces deliberately targeted 150 health institutions, resulting in the shutdown of 30 hospitals and 53 health centers in all areas of the Gaza Strip, and the destruction of 121 ambulances.

He called on international institutions to take urgent action to protect hospitals in the southern Gaza Strip and to secure the access of the wounded and patients to them and to ensure that the scenario of Al-Shifa medical complex is not repeated there.
