Thirteen of the deaths were from friendly fire due to mistaken identification during shelling, gunfire, and airstrikes, the Israeli military revealed to multiple Israeli media outlets.
At least 1,645 soldiers have been injured since "Operation Swords of Iron" began in response to a militant attack that Israel says killed about 1,200 people in communities bordering Gaza, the military says.
The militants then dashed back to Gaza with 240 hostages, more than half of whom remain captives.
More than 18,000 Palestinians have died in Israel's assault on the enclave, more than 70% of them civilians, elderly, women and children, including UN employees, doctors, nurses, and journalists, Dana Savir also reported for USA TODAY.
