This is coolbert:
"Israeli press: 10-20% of frontline fighters wounded already…"
The Gaza War. Israeli combat casualties in the thousands?

"'You're insane Kulak, they're the best army on earth'
I was considered a delusional pro-terror loon for thinking they'd have 2000-3000 wounded by now!
This is what Urban warfare, traps, tunnels, and defense in depth does
Their young are becoming a generation of cripples
5k out of 170k regular force, and 300k called up reserves.
Remember militaries are 80-90% logistics, backend, admin, technicians. The US army is only 4 PERCENT infantry. 20-25k out of 485k."
Assuming the percentage of combat infantry the Israeli army consistent with the U.S. Army standard, that number of "frontline fighters" as casualties and as reported by the "Israeli press" pretty much spot on.
The Israeli military and press I think quite hesitant to announce any sort of casualty figures up-to-date from the Gaza War until mission accomplished.
coolbert.
That figure of about 25,000 infantry U.S. Army quite accurate. 11B and 11C only from 20,000 to 25,000 infantrymen authorized by Congress.
