US EditionIsraeli Military Says Four Soldiers Killed in Gaza, Will Draft 10,000 More Troops
- On May 5, 2025, Israel's military announced that four soldiers were killed in Gaza during operations in a Hamas compound in Khan Yunis.
- The fatalities followed a renewed Israeli offensive sparked by Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack and reflect a military shortage of about 10,000 troops, mainly in combat roles.
- The military reported 38 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes on the same day, while Gaza's humanitarian situation remains critical amid an eased siege and Eid al-Adha hardships.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed condolences, calling the soldiers' deaths a sacrifice for safety and said tens of thousands of new draft notices will be issued to address troop shortages.
- The ultra-Orthodox conscription issue threatens Netanyahu's coalition as religious parties may leave if exemptions are not legally codified, complicating military recruitment amid ongoing conflict.
