A total of 1,318 members of Israel's security forces have been killed on various fronts since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, according to figures released Sunday by the Ministry of Defense. The reported casualties include soldiers from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), police officers, Shin Bet agents, firefighters, rescue personnel, and members of local security and response teams.
The data, published by the ministry's department for families, commemoration, and heritage, encompasses individuals killed during the October 7th attack as well as those who have died in subsequent operations and clashes. The release comes just days before the third anniversary of the Hamas assault, as Israel continues to assess the human cost of ongoing warfare and military operations.
The Ministry of Defense's figures are intended to provide a comprehensive accounting of the security personnel lost across different branches and roles.
