This word is one you hear in many news stories that deal with violence:
Palestinians Thursday buried an 85 year old man who died after inhaling tear gas fired by Israeli soldiers to disperse protesters, Palestinian officials claiming him as the first casualty of the conflict this year.
A “casualty” is a person hurt or killed in a way or in an accident.
In war, a casualty can be a fighter who is lost through death, injury, or sickness.
It can also mean a soldier who is captured or missing in action.
