According to data released by the Israeli Ministry of Defense, 1,318 Israeli personnel have lost their lives since the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023. This total includes a wide array of individuals serving in various capacities, specifically soldiers, police officers, Shin Bet security agents, firefighters, prison warders, and civilian officers.

The reported death toll is not limited to those killed directly in combat operations. The figures account for all deaths occurring within these professional groups since the start of the conflict, regardless of whether the cause was active fighting in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, or the West Bank, or if the death resulted from accidents, illness, or suicide.

While the Ministry of Defense provided the aggregate number, the breakdown of these figures highlights the broad scope of the Israeli security apparatus involved in the ongoing conflict. The report serves as an official accounting of the human cost incurred by Israeli state institutions over the past year of regional hostilities.
