‘Israeli’ Soldiers Suffer Eye Injuries in Gaza, Many Losing Their Vision - Report
Hundreds of invading ‘Israeli’ occupation soldiers who are confronted by Hamas resistance fighters in Gaza suffered severe ophthalmologic injuries, with some even losing their vision in one or both eyes, according to a late Wednesday report by KAN News. | Most of the eye injuries sustained were caused by ‘Israeli’ occupation fighters not wearing protective gear, namely eye protection equipment, as required during battle, the report added. The eye injuries were sustained mostly through close contact with bullet shrapnel, and recoil, although some fighters suffered direct hits from Hamas fighter. Alarmingly, some 10-15% of the injuries sustained resulted in the loss of eyesight in one or both eyes. KAN further reported that some 40 soldiers with eye injuries were hospitalized at ‘Soroka Medical Center’ in ‘Beersheba’ since October 7. Further, five soldiers arrived at the hospital with severe injuries earlier this week. Two of the five reportedly underwent surgery in the past 24 hours.
