It is worth noting that most of these refugees whom Israel allowed to seek asylum were soldiers in the wars that were taking place in their countries, meaning that they were trained.

Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli army has lost over 621 officers and soldiers, while the number of wounded has risen to over 3,500.

Health authorities in Gaza have reported that the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip has resulted in at least 41,182 Palestinian deaths.
