Official Reports for Every IDF Soldier Killed in Gaza in 2025
Can you find ONE that wasn't a dubious Molech sacrifice? I can't.
The ever-changing news cycles, filled with sensational distractions, cheap propaganda, false narratives, and sensational lies, don’t allow people to properly digest and critically assess information before bombarding them with their next drug-like fix. It’s all part of the relentless psychological and spiritual warfare in which the media plays a vital role.
This is why you might have a funny feeling that lots of Jewish soldiers have been getting killed in ambushes and accidents, the likes of which might raise serious questions, but before you have time to delve into it, the media confidently reports that the IDF is investigating it and will learn the proper lessons.
Meanwhile, heads of state and IDF officials have issued boilerplate statements about the heroes who lost their lives fighting to keep us safe, the nation is mourning, and we will continue on resiliently.
So you might have a nagging feeling that something is strange about all this, but you’re still convinced that it’s all perfectly reasonable and a necessary consequence of war, especially under these conditions. The experts are doing the best they can, and indeed the bad news is interrupted with reports of glorious achievements. Beepers in Lebanon! Miracles in Tehran!
Although these glorious achievements never seem to stop the senseless death (just the opposite), and life for the peasant class only continues to get worse, it makes all the bad news more bearable. It’s leading somewhere amazing. It will all be worth it. Any day now.
Then the next baffling ambush, accident, or operational failure happens in Gaza, and we forget that the IDF never got back to us about the last one, and they pull the emotional strings up and down all over again. Copy, paste, rinse, wash, repeat.
I don’t follow the “news”, I don’t let them manipulate my emotions, and I have a functioning memory that extends beyond the previous news cycle.
I spent about an hour going through official reports of ALL the deadly “incidents” in Gaza since 2025 and a bit before, and have copied my findings below. It is a complete log of all IDF soldiers who “fell in combat”, as the Israeli government uniformly describes it. Decide for yourself if this is an appropriate description.
Before we get to the log, a few important items to add context. Links are in bold, citations are in italics, and my occasional comments are in regular typeface.
I looked into every reported incident from 2025 and slightly earlier (excluding two military incidents that did not occur in Gaza), and EVERY SINGLE ONE is a dubious ambush, an “accident”, or some other “operational failure”.
Some people get upset when I speak of soldiers being sent into death traps, and even suggesting that this is a deliberate Erev Rav / Amalek operation to decimate the Jewish people from within, under the pretext of fighting a milchemes mitzvah.
Read through the following list of official reports, think critically for yourself and decide if this is not only a reasonable conclusion, but far and away the most reasonable conclusion.
The facts speak for themselves. You do not have to accept the official explanations and rationalizations.
Over 15,000 Israeli soldiers injured in Gaza war: Defense Ministry (Turkish media, Jan 28, 2025)
Figure is significantly higher than number reported by [the] army, which stands at 5,667 soldiers since Oct. 7, 2023
A ministry statement said that the injured soldiers have entered rehab programs at the ministry’s Rehabilitation Department.
The figure announced by the ministry is significantly higher than the number reported by army, which stands at 5,667 since Oct. 7, 2023.
According to military figures released by the army, 841 soldiers have been killed and 5,667 others injured since the outbreak of the Gaza war on Oct. 7, 2023.
The Defense Ministry, however, didn't explain the large discrepancy between the two figures.
IDF has had 15,000 soldiers killed, wounded in Gaza war, says former defence minister (Middle East Monitor, March 12, 2025)
Former Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Ya’alon has said that as many as 15,000 soldiers have been killed or wounded in the genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip since 7 October, 2023.
Ya’alon told Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper that the war in Gaza Strip resulted in hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries among soldiers of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). He stressed the need to pass a law that ends exemptions given to ultra-Orthodox Jews from compulsory service in order to compensate for the severe shortage of manpower in the IDF.
50% of IDF Wounded Are Mentally Injured, and the Shortage of Caregivers Is Worsening (Calcalist, May 28, 2025)
Since October 7, the number of IDF wounded has increased by 17.5 thousand, and the number of IDF disabled is expected to exceed 100 thousand as early as 2028.
Let that predictive programming sink in. The number of IDF disabled is expected to exceed 100 thousand as early as 2028.
IDF Press Release (January 2, 2025)
The IDF has implemented measures to prevent suicides and provide mental health support.
Can’t imagine why soldiers might want to take their own lives instead of letting others do it for them. Maybe the following will give us a clue…
The information below comes from the Israeli Government’s official log of Swords of Iron: IDF Casualties, with each entry followed by official media reports related to the incident. Since the startup nation’s official log is a week behind, we will begin with the latest incident available.
Find me the first case of a soldier who wasn’t a targeted Molech sacrifice, and then tell me why we should expect the next wave of casualties (100,000 expected by 2028) to be any different:
9 July 2025
- Sgt. Yuliy Faktor, 19, of Rishon LeZion - 52nd Battalion, 401st (Iron Tracks) Armored Brigade. Fell in combat in the northern Gaza Strip.

Three IDF troops killed, officer seriously wounded in northern Gaza tank blast
Three fatalities were named as Staff Sgt. Shoham Menahem, 21, from Yardena, Sgt. Shlomo Yakir Shrem, 20, from Efrat and Sgt. Yuliy Faktor, 19, from Rishon Lezion.
The officer, who was not named, was hospitalized in serious condition, the army said.
All four troops were serving with the 401st Armored Brigade’s 52nd Battalion.
According to an initial IDF probe, the soldiers were in a tank that was hit by an explosion in the northern Gaza city of Jabalia at around noon Monday.
The IDF initially suspected the tank was hit by a Hamas rocket propelled grenade. However, in the hours following the incident, the military increasingly came to believe the explosion may have been caused by a malfunctioning shell that detonated inside the turret.
Other causes of the explosion were being investigated, the military said.
I wrote extensively about the death of Azulay in the previous two posts.

Amar, Frech, Musgadian, and Noll served in the Kfir Brigade’s Netzah Yehuda Battalion. Asulin served in the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade. Among the 14 wounded, two of the troops were listed in serious condition.
According to an IDF probe, the infantry soldiers were hit by three bombs remotely detonated one after another by Hamas operatives on the side of a road during ground operations in Beit Hanoun. The soldiers were operating on foot and were not inside a vehicle.
The investigation found that most of the troops were hurt by the first and second bombs, which were detonated within a few moments of each other. The first bomb hit several soldiers, and the troops that rushed to help them were hit by the second bomb.
As the third bomb was detonated, a cell of Hamas operatives opened fire with light arms on the Israeli troops. The military believes the bombs were planted by the Hamas cell during the preceding 24 hours.

IDF says soldier killed in operational accident in northern Gaza Strip overnight
https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/defense-news/article-860017
He was killed when the vehicle he was in overturned during an operation to demolish buildings in a combat zone.
During the incident, a heavy machinery operator, for unknown reasons, struck another vehicle that Sgt. Eliyahou was operating, which was positioned nearby. As a result, the vehicle overturned, and it is currently not possible to determine whether a sharp maneuver, limited visibility, or a change in the terrain caused the incident.
Sgt. Asaf Zamir was killed in combat in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza when a terrorist fired an anti-tank missile at the tank he was in, the IDF and Army Radio announced on Friday.
In the incident in which he was killed, two soldiers in the 53rd Armored Corps Battalion, 188th Battalion, were severely wounded, and another was moderately wounded.
During the operation to remove the wounded from the tank, an explosion occurred in a second tank, likely due to an anti-tank missile or an additional explosive that was triggered at the site, Army Radio said.
The company commander, who was in the second tank, was lightly wounded by shrapnel and was evacuated to the hospital, along with the others who were wounded.
2 July 2025
- Sgt. Yaniv Michalovitch, 19, of Rehovot - 82nd Battalion, 7th (Storm from the Golan) Armored Brigade. Fell in combat in the northern Gaza Strip.

In the first incident, terrorists launched two RPG rockets at a building in which an Egoz unit was stationed. As a result of the strike, one soldier was moderately wounded and another was lightly wounded.
Approximately 20 minutes later, another anti-tank missile was fired at the tank carrying the 7th Brigade. The tank was operating with the goal of locating the terrorists from the first incident. As a result of the missile strike on the tank, Sgt. Michalovitch was killed, and the other soldiers in the tank were wounded - two seriously and one moderately.
After the first two incidents, a Hamas sniper fired from a mosque at the Egoz troops, and one soldier was seriously wounded.

This is the Puma incident, which I wrote extensively about here, and most people already forgot about.
Zacks didn’t “fall in combat” in Gaza. He was eliminated in a “safe room”:
Two missiles were fired at Beersheba in a salvo at 5:40 a.m. One was intercepted, and the second struck the sixth floor of an apartment complex in the southern city, causing extensive destruction, including the collapse of part of the building.
The building was relatively new, and homes had their own reinforced rooms. However, the missile directly hit two safe rooms, according to a preliminary probe by the military’s Home Front Command. One of the bomb-safe rooms was destroyed by the impact, the probe found.
18 June 2025
- Staff Sgt. Stav Halfon, 20, of Petah Tikva - 603rd (Lahav/Blade) Combat Engineering Battalion, 7th (Storm from the Golan) Armored Brigade. Fell in combat in the southern Gaza Strip.

The slain soldier is named as Staff Sgt. Naveh Leshem, 20, of the Golani Brigade’s 12th Battalion, from the West Bank settlement of Nokdim.
According to an initial IDF probe, Leshem and the other wounded soldiers were in an armored personnel carrier during operations in Khan Younis, when a terror operative placed an explosive device on the outside of the vehicle.
Compare to Puma incident and decide if you believe the official report.

IDF officer killed in Gaza blast; several soldiers wounded in ambush
Captain (res). Tal Movshovitz, deputy company commander from the Golani 12th Battalion, was killed in an explosion in Khan Younis; Initial investigation finds terrorist squad ambushed the force and opened fire after detonating the explosive device; He is survived by a wife and two children.
Movshovitz, who served as deputy company commander in the Golani Brigade, was struck by an improvised explosive device (IED) attached to the Humvee of a force from the brigade’s 12th Battalion.
Several other soldiers were wounded in the incident. According to a preliminary investigation, a terrorist cell had also set up an ambush and opened fire on the convoy following the detonation of the explosive device.
Weird excuse:
The incident occurred after the IDF thinned out forces from the Gaza Strip due to the war with Iran, the need to reinforce the Jordanian border, and readiness for additional scenarios. The result is changes in force deployments, especially in the south of the Strip, and a slowdown in fighting in the face of increased friction with terrorists in recent days, more and more of whom are trying to harm soldiers.
