18,500 injuries 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/over-18-500-israeli-troops-wounded-since-gaza-war-began>among 
its forces since the start of its war on the Gaza Strip, according to a 
report published on July 21 by Israeli/Channel 12/. Thefigures 
underscore the growing toll of nearly 10 months of warfare 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-army-struggles-with-officer--combat-troop-shortages>, 
with a significant number of those wounded suffering from both physical 
and psychological trauma.

According to the report, at least 12,500 troops sustained physical 
injuries, while more than 10,000 are dealing with post-traumatic stress 
and other psychological conditions, reflecting the intensity of combat 
and the deep mental strain within the ranks of the Israeli occupation 
forces.

The data revealed that 33% of the physical injuries involved the limbs, 
13% affected the head, eyes, or ears, and 7% were related to the spine, 
neck, or back, which are injuries typically associated with 
high-intensity urban warfare and repeated exposure to explosions.
