The Pentagon designated four soldiers killed in Jordan and Iraq in July as "Overseas Operations Casualties" on Sunday, separate from the other 14 casualties of Operation Epic Fury listed on its website.

Last week, The New York Times had reported that the number of soldiers the Pentagon had confirmed were killed during the war had been reduced, with the four soldiers having been removed from the website. 

The Jerusalem Post confirmed at the time that the numbers online did not mention the four servicemembers killed - including Private Isabella Gonzales, 19, and Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, who were killed during an Iranian strike in Jordan - or those who had been wounded since July 1, despite the site having been updated on July 20.
