I've been reading from some sources (not sure how accurate they are) that every published Israeli loss has been an officer or NCO, which is really sus because there's no plausible way to lose a bunch of those ranks without also losing at least some rank and file troops too.
Can only imagine that Netanyahu is downplaying casualties because the Israeli public are ultra-sensitive to them.
It might be that when a private gets killed, they just promote postmortem. At the same time idk why they would do that, it's terrible for PR to see that many officers getting killed.
