#Israel / “By the year 2030, there will be approximately 100,000 IDF disabled veterans”

The Rehabilitation Division's head, Limor Luria, notes that the following numbers are expected to grow in coming years. The teports in #Ynet and #Walla mention that the psychological injury numbers are likely to increase, as these conditions often develop over time. It's worth noting these are official figures. Due to censorship the full extent of casualties might be higher. The budget for rehabilitation has increased from 5.4 billion to 7.3 billion shekels, though officials indicate more funding is needed to provide adequate care for all injured personnel.

1. Total Injured Numbers:

- Approximately 12,000 IDF and security forces personnel have been registered with the Rehabilitation Division since the start of "Swords of Iron" revenge war in Gaza.

- #IDF's official count stands at 5,184 injured, but this doesn't include non-military security personnel like Shin Bet operatives, police officers, and emergency response team members

2. Northern Front (#Lebanon):

- 910 injured have been evacuated to hospitals in the north since the ground operation in Lebanon began (October 1)

- 140 of these have been admitted to the Rehabilitation Division

- This represents a 50% increase compared to the previous month

3. Injury Severity and Types:

- 14% of the injured are classified with moderate-severe injuries

- 8,500 are dealing with physical injuries

- 377 suffer from head injuries, with 23 requiring severe skull reconstruction

- 308 had eye injuries, with 12 losing their sight

- 104 suffer from spinal injuries

- About 60 have undergone amputations

- 5,200 have developed various psychological reactions

4. Demographics:

- 93% of the injured are men, 7% women

- 66% are reserve soldiers

- 51% are between ages 18-30

- About 1,500 have been injured twice during the war year

Quoting Noa Limon:

[...] Perhaps the desire to preserve the dignity of the dead, or the belief that one shouldn't judge a person in their time of grief, prevented most media channels from providing full coverage, or maybe it was fear that exposing these things might serve antisemites. These arguments don't hold water.

[...] First, these things were said with pride and express a worldview rather than mere slips of the tongue. Their utterance reflects their normalization and the speakers' lack of fear of punishment. Second, the funeral was fully documented and is openly available online, just like the videos of looting, humiliation, arson, and revenge published by soldiers, and the calls for war crimes from ministers and public figures over the past year.

[...] Concern that local publications and evidence of war crimes in Gaza might serve Israel's opponents cannot override journalism's basic duty: to expose the truth and provide the public with the complete picture to enable rational discourse based on it, rather than on a censored narrative that leaves countless blind spots.

[...] The media is subject to military censorship, and war coverage is also limited, as the IDF doesn't allow journalists into Gaza unless they're accompanying the military. But the press in Israel doesn't need external restrictions on its freedom; it happily imposes them on itself.

#Ynet's coverage of the settler's funeral deliberately excluded all sections of the eulogy that referenced Ben-Nathan's role in war crimes and his murder of Bilal Salah. By selectively editing out these admissions, Ynet presented an incomplete and sanitized version of events, continuing a pattern of mainstream Israeli media concealing evidence of violence against Palestinians.

What they did quote from the brothers' eulogies are these pastoral scenes:

[...] "You were a good and caring brother, joyful, caring for each and every brother. You helped us when we needed. You were connected to the Land of Israel, God willing we'll merit to plant an orchard or grove in your place to elevate your soul."

His other brother:

[...] "Thank you for praying for me two weeks ago when I was detained. You never stopped praying for me. Thank you for all your help in the grove, you'd come back from the army and invest in the grove. You didn't miss a day without the "Tikkun olam" prayer. You fixed everything in this world. I prayed for you a few days ago at Joshua bin Nun's tomb, Master of the Universe protect him. We will continue to live with faith, with confidence."

John didn't know where he would be sent until he received his boarding pass Wednesday night,
so he didn't have much time to research his destination.
Waiting at JFK for his plane to Seattle early Thursday morning, he thought,
"What am I going to do in #Walla #Walla?"❓

He arrived here via the mid-day flight and was immediately struck by the size of the terminal.
"It's the smallest airport I've ever seen," he said,
adding that he found he actually prefers the efficient Walla Walla Regional Airport to the mammoth, chaotic JFK.
John decided he didn't just want to spend his 24-hour stopover sitting in a hotel room, so he's made his time here count.
He's done some wine tasting (including enjoying his first-ever wine slushy),
did sightseeing throughout the city,
visited restaurants and bars,
and toured the Whitman College campus.

He also called City Hall to arrange a meetup with Mayor Scribner so his friends would have to make good on their promise to underwrite the trip.
After the mayor presented him with a City of Walla Walla pin, John texted photos to his buddies, who he said couldn't believe he'd actually been able to pull off the feat.
John told us Walla Walla reminds him of quaint places he's visited in Upstate New York, and said he's found this to be
a "very lovely town" where everyone he's met has been "super nice."

and toured the Whitman College campus.

He also called City Hall to arrange a meetup with Mayor Scribner so his friends would have to make good on their promise to underwrite the trip.
After the mayor presented him with a City of Walla Walla pin, John texted photos to his buddies, who he said couldn't believe he'd actually been able to pull off the feat.
John told us Walla Walla reminds him of quaint places he's visited in Upstate New York, and said he's found this to be
a "very lovely town" where everyone he's met has been "super nice."

John didn't know where he would be sent until he received his boarding pass Wednesday night,
so he didn't have much time to research his destination.
Waiting at JFK for his plane to Seattle early Thursday morning, he thought,
"What am I going to do in #Walla #Walla?"❓

He arrived here via the mid-day flight and was immediately struck by the size of the terminal.
"It's the smallest airport I've ever seen," he said,
adding that he found he actually prefers the efficient Walla Walla Regional Airport to the mammoth, chaotic JFK.
John decided he didn't just want to spend his 24-hour stopover sitting in a hotel room, so he's made his time here count.
He's done some wine tasting (including enjoying his first-ever wine slushy),
did sightseeing throughout the city,
visited restaurants and bars,
and toured the Whitman College campus.

As far as I can tell, so far no other Israeli news outlet picked this report. Also the previous one with the guardian about Sde Teiman torture facility was ignored. I checked #Ynet, #Walla and #Maariv.

[cont’d] Herzog: it’s important that Israel will be represented in the Eurovision

Israel’s president, who was only recently mentioned in the #ICJ ruling, with other Israeli officials, as having expressed genocidal intent against Palestinian, believes it’s important for Israel both politically and from a public diplomacy (#Hasbara) perspective, to find a way back into the competition, if only to prove the “haters” wrong.

[…] Unequivocally. It is an entire nation out there that is responsible. It is not true this rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved. It is absolutely not true. They could have risen up. They could have fought against that evil regime which took over Gaza in a coup d’état. — 12 October 2023, Isaac Herzog
