"Yedioth Ahronoth says that 10,000 Israeli soldiers were killed and wounded during this war. There are several things in this announcement: First: This number is four times the number announced by the official government, which raises doubts about the state's numbers in this war, especially the army's casualties. Second: The number is very large, meaning 10,000 soldiers have left service, which represents no less than 10% of active soldiers. Third: This is evidence of the weakness of the Israeli army on the ground, as the #Gaza Strip is the weakest link in the axis of resistance, and controlling it by fire is easier than Lebanon, for example, so what if Israel entered into an open war with Hezbollah? Fourth: The exit of this number from military censorship means that there is a disagreement between the state's leaders in assessing the current situation, and it is an attempt to implicate Netanyahu and pressure him to accept an agreement, most likely. Conclusion: The announcement is strange in light of strict military censorship, and in light of the challenges of expanding the war and receiving severe strikes from Iran, which may raise this number in a short time. Its exit at this time raises questions about its motives"
