Introduction \u2013 May 13, 2024<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We reserve judgment on Nasrallah\u2019s claim that 1,500 Israeli soldiers have been killed in the current conflict in Gaza. However, we do not dismiss his claim as empty propaganda either.<\/p>\n

Certainly, the Israelis are taking casualties while at the same time they are doing their utmost to play down the extent of those losses.<\/p>\n

This becomes apparent when you look at the IDF\u2019s regular casualty reports. The overwhelming majority of those listed as killed in combat are either officers or senior N.C.O.s. Ordinary privates and junior N.C.O.s are hardly ever mentioned.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s strange because privates and junior N.C.O. make up more than half of any military force. Yet there are none listed among the IDF casualties reported from the OCT 7 attack<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The almost complete absence of privates and junior N.C.O.s listed among those killed in action has continued ever since. So the total number IDF casualties in the current Gaza conflict could actually be double or even triple the 620 military personnel and 62 police officers officially reported killed since Oct 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In other words Nasrallah\u2019s claim of 1,500 Israeli soldiers killed isn’t entirely implausible.<\/p>\n

If true, these figures are also something that the Zionist authorities would want to keep under wraps.<\/p>\n

After all, such casualties naturally prompt questions as to how long the IDF can sustain such losses. Certainly they could be sustained for brief conflicts like the Six Day War, but this conflict has been going on for six months now and there\u2019s still no end in sight.<\/p>\n

That alone might prompt even the less committed Zionists to question whether they really want to commit their lives to Zionism?<\/p>\n

Apart from calling into question the viability of Zionist ideals, such considerations are also likely to deter potential investors and immigrants to Israel.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s no exaggeration to say that the conflict in Gaza could easily continue for another six months or more. Underlining just how far they are from a clear cut victory, Israeli forces are again trying to secure Rafah, an area that they claimed they had cleared Hamas from months ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As the linked video reveals<\/a>, the events of Oct 7 have opened deep divisions within Israeli society. The longer this war continues, the more likely it is that we will witness the beginning of the end of the Zionist dream as it implodes on itself. Ed.<\/p>\n

Nasrallah says 1,500 Israeli soldiers killed since start of Gaza war<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Press TV \u2013 May 13, 2024<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Secretary General of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah says some 1,500 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the start of the\u00a0Israeli war on Gaza, which has compelled\u00a0resistance groups in the region, including Hezbollah, to launch attacks on Israel to force it to end the war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah revealed the death toll of the Israeli military\u00a0during a Monday speech marking the martyrdom anniversary of Mustafa Badreddine, a senior Hezbollah commander killed in an attack by Israel in Syria\u2019s Damascus in 2016.<\/p>\n

Nasrallah did not reveal whether the Israeli death toll includes the fatalities suffered by the regime in recent months in its cross-border trading of fire with Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

The Israeli regime has kept secret\u00a0the number of soldiers killed or wounded in the war on Gaza as well as those killed in Hezbollah\u2019s missile and drone attacks.<\/p>\n

The Hezbollah leader said that Israel has failed to achieve its declared objectives in Gaza where it has killed over 35,000 Palestinians.<\/p>\n

He said even people in the Israeli-occupied Palestine doubt claims of victory in Gaza by members of the Israeli regime\u00a0led by prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is unanimity in Israel over Israel’s failure… The Israelis are ridiculing Netanyahu when he speaks about victory,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nasrallah said that Israel is seeking to invade the southern Gazan city of Rafah, where more than a million have sought refuge from the regime\u2019s brutal attacks on other parts of the territory, in an attempt to cover up its defeat in Gaza.<\/p>\n

On Hezbollah\u2019s ongoing confrontation\u00a0with Israel, Nasrallah said that the Lebanese group will continue its campaign to pressure Israel to halt the war in Gaza.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lebanese front will continue to support Gaza, this is decisive and final, and the Americans and the French have acknowledged this fact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
