Occupied Jerusalem – Agencies: The Israeli occupation army published yesterday data summarizing its operations over the past three years since October 7, 2023, along with clarifications on changes to its force structure. However, it did not mention the casualties from its attacks, the displacement and displacement of civilians, or the major damage caused in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and regional countries. According to data cited by Israeli media, the Israeli army admitted that its forces targeted approximately “100,000 targets across various fronts since the start of the war.” The data revealed that the Israeli army targeted around 65,000 so-called “targets” in the Gaza Strip, as well as approximately 28,000 “targets” in Lebanon and Syria, around 4,500 “targets” in Iran, and about 80 “targets” in Yemen. The Israeli army did not provide any details regarding the nature of these “targets,” how they were identified, the damage caused by these strikes, or the weapons used.
In the Gaza Strip alone, Israeli strikes over the past three years resulted in the martyrdom of 74,243 Palestinians and injured 175,232, with figures rising daily. In its latest report, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, citing the latest assessment by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the UN Satellite Centre (UNOSAT), stated that damaged buildings resulting from the Israeli genocide war as of June 16, 2024, account for approximately 82% of the total buildings in the Strip.
In the West Bank, attacks by the occupation army and settlers resulted in the martyrdom of 1,210 Palestinians and injuries to 13,350 people, along with the arrest of 24,600 individuals. Additionally, the Israeli army killed more than 8,953 people and injured 30,649 others in Lebanon since October 8, 2023, causing massive destruction in southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut due to Israeli raids. According to Yemeni estimates, Israeli airstrikes on cities controlled by the Houthis over the past years resulted in the deaths of more than 50 civilians, without a final tally documenting all casualties from the strikes.
The Israeli data also confirmed the arrest or detention of approximately 45,000 individuals described as “wanted for investigation.” The Israeli army stated that the detainees included “arms dealers, weapons holders, individuals who planned imminent attacks, terrorist elements, people who threw stones and Molotov cocktails, and accomplices in terrorist acts.” The Israeli army revealed that multiple fronts launched tens of thousands of missiles and drones at Israel during the war years. It specified that approximately 10,200 projectiles were fired from the Gaza Strip, around 20,000 from Lebanon, about 1,200 from Iran, roughly 90 from Yemen, and approximately 50 from Syria, without providing further information.
The Israeli army noted that the size of its reserve forces increased by approximately 36%, which it described as “unprecedented.” Concurrently, new units and formations were established, including the formation of the “Hashomer” Brigade and the “David” Brigades, as part of the establishment of the “Gideon” Division and the 38th Division.
