Israel’s Pledge to Continue ‘Striking Hard’ May Set Record for Deaths in These Wars with Arab Neighbors
Israel’s War of Independence in 1948 ended with a total of 15,000 deaths. Its Yom Kippur War of 1973 resulted in 25,000 dead. The most deaths in one day occurred last year, on the 50th Anniversary of the Yom Kippur War. The October 7th attacks saw nearly 1500 dead. Now, on the eve of the one-year anniversary, Israel is showing no signs of letting up against Hezbollah to its north.
