Defense Ministry: 1,318 Israeli security personnel killed across all fronts since October 7
The number includes fallen personnel from the IDF, Israel Police, Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), Fire and Rescue Services, security coordinators, and local response team members.
The Defense Ministry of Israel has reported that 1,318 security personnel have lost their lives in the ongoing conflict with Hamas since October 7, 2023. This figure encompasses casualties from the Israeli Defense Forces, Israel Police, Shin Bet, Fire and Rescue Services, security coordinators, and local response team members, across all fronts including Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank.
The toll is part of a broader tragedy where over 7,150 individuals have been recognized as bereaved relatives, including 2,143 parents, 355 widows, and 880 orphans. Despite a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip since October 10, 2025, Israeli soldiers continue to face threats along the Yellow Line, with two reservists killed last week when their drone crashed within their outpost.
