The occupation evacuates daily the dead and wounded who fell in the battles of Gaza (Anatolia)

Israeli soldiers wounded during ground fighting in the Gaza Strip have refused to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he visits them in a hospital in Jerusalem, Hebrew private Channel 13 revealed on Wednesday.

The channel said in a report that Netanyahu visited the rehabilitation department of Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem to meet soldiers wounded in battles in Gaza, but some refused to meet him.

This is not the first time that soldiers wounded in Gaza have refused to meet with Netanyahu, but it was repeated about a week ago when he refused to meet with a number of wounded soldiers at Sheba Hospital in the Tel Hashomer area near Tel Aviv during his visit to them, according to the same source.

Injured soldier Or Schneberg said on platform X: "I am in the hospital, in the rehabilitation ward in Hadassah, Netanyahu is coming to visit me tonight, and one of the officials asked me if I wanted him to come to my room, of course I refused.

He added in his post: It turned out that among the wing of 18 wounded fighters, 15 of them asked not to enter them, according to Channel 13. "I am in Jerusalem, the stronghold of the Likud (party) (led by Netanyahu). Change is felt, the era (Likud rule) is over."

Hadassah Hospital, on the other hand, ignored reports that some soldiers refused to meet Netanyahu, saying in a statement carried by the Hebrew channel: "He (Netanyahu) passed among the wounded who received him with great enthusiasm and warmth, encouraging their lives, and assuring them that the State of Israel is united and committed to achieving complete victory."

The hospital said Netanyahu visited the wounded on Wednesday evening.

When Netanyahu visited Sheba Hospital about a week ago, representatives of the Israeli army and members of the Prime Minister's Office asked before the visit who would agree to meet him, and they were grouped into another section isolated from the rehabilitation ward, according to the same channel.

Israeli reports revealed earlier this month that 500 Israeli soldiers had been traumatized since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Gaza. Earlier yesterday, Israel's Channel 12 reported that a soldier who recently returned from the war in Gaza opened fire on his comrades in a room after waking up from a "nightmare", lightly wounding a number of them.

According to IDF statements, as of Wednesday evening, 498 officers and soldiers had been killed since the start of the offensive on Gaza on October 7, including 164 since the start of the ground operation inside the besieged enclave and in exchanges of fire on the northern border.

Since the beginning of the war, 2110,329 soldiers have been wounded, including 576 seriously and 5 moderately, while Hebrew media put the number of wounded at <>,<>.

Since October 27, the Israeli army has been conducting a ground incursion into the northern Gaza Strip, which has expanded to include the central and southern regions, during which it faces fierce resistance from the Palestinian resistance factions, led by the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).

Since October 7, the Israeli army has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, which as of Wednesday has left 21,110 dead, 55,243 wounded, most of them children and women, massive destruction of infrastructure and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
