Recorded casualties:

Canaanites: All (probably several thousand) Israelites: 0

The Bible doesn't actually say there were zero casualties, but we will get some context for that from the first battle of Ai in Joshua 7

Again, think about normal accident rates with thousands of people running with knives and swords. I'm sure some of the Canaanites tried to defend themselves.
