Emerging story
Recently, social media users have been circulating a photo claiming to depict an American Jewish soldier named Eden Suki. According to the narrative, she went to Israel after the events of October 7, 2023, to participate in the war on Gaza and was injured by a gunshot to her eye.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the circulating claim and found it to be misleading. The photo is old and does not depict an American Jewish soldier who was injured while fighting alongside the Israeli army during its war on Gaza.
An Old Photo of an Israeli Soldier
Israeli media outlets published the photo in June 2021, stating that it depicted a soldier who joined the Israeli army at that time, despite her disability.
Different Disabilities Among Occupation Soldiers During the Gaza War
The photo began circulating during the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, amidst thousands of injuries within the Israeli army, some resulting in various physical disabilities.
Israeli media reports in mid-April stated that Israeli occupation authorities admitted that more than 2,000 soldiers, police officers, and security personnel had been disabled since the start of the current aggression against Palestinians in Gaza.
According to reports from Israeli media, an average of 60 military and security personnel become disabled every day.
New Injuries Among Israeli Military Personnel
The Israeli army announced on Monday that four soldiers were injured by an anti-tank missile near Kibbutz Yiftah in the Upper Galilee.
Additionally, the Israeli military reported the explosion of two explosive-laden drones near Beit Hillel in northern occupied territories, stating that they were launched from southern Lebanon. Meanwhile, Hezbollah announced targeting several Israeli sites and causing injuries.
