::It could be, but I'm not sure that Israel would necessarily want to boost their casualty figures. On the one hand, more casualties probably evokes more sympathy, but on the other hand, more casualties also bolsters the cases of opponents to the war and those who think that Israel "lost". 
 ::Not to quible over semantics, but the website stated that the injured were treated for anxiety, not hysteria. Also, the shock described on the Wikipedia article is different than the shock described on the Israeli website, as the shock described in the Wikipedia article is physical shock, while the Israeli website specifically lists the shock as mental. The closest article to mental shock is probably PTSD. I think I already fixed this wikilink in the article itself some time ago though. —  []
