Three zionist army majors killed during an engagement with Gaza resistance fighters
In northern Gaza, intense clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian resistance fighters have resulted in the deaths of at least three Israeli military majors. The confrontations occurred as Palestinian fighters sought to counter ground offensives launched by Israeli troops.
The Israeli military confirmed in a statement on Thursday that three reserve officers from the Logistical Support Unit 5460, affiliated with the 460th Armored “Bnei Or” brigade, were among those killed.
The Hebrew-language newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth has reported that three individuals lost their lives following the detonation of an explosive device in the Jabalia neighborhood, situated in northern Gaza.
The Israeli military has reported that since the commencement of hostilities in Gaza last October, a total of 734 soldiers have lost their lives, and 4,700 have sustained injuries.
Recent data emerge amid Israel’s well-documented policy of stringent censorship concerning its military losses. Over the past year, the nation has encountered significant allegations of downplaying the number of casualties in its military engagements in both Gaza and Lebanon.
In a recent escalation, two Palestinians were killed and numerous others were wounded following an Israeli airstrike on a residence in Deir al-Balah, located in the central region of the Gaza Strip.
An Israeli drone operation targeted a group of Palestinians in the Maghazi refugee camp overnight, resulting in the deaths of two individuals.
Israeli forces launched an offensive on a residence within the Nuseirat refugee camp, located in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in injuries to six individuals.
Residential structures in the Zeitoun district of Gaza City have been demolished, while significant explosions have been reported in the eastern regions of Deir al-Balah.
On October 7, Israel initiated military operations against Gaza following a surprise offensive by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas, titled Operation Al-Aqsa Storm. The attack by Hamas was purportedly in retaliation for what they describe as a prolonged period of violence and destruction perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinian people.
The ongoing military offensive in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of over 42,000 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, with tens of thousands more reported injured. Additionally, thousands of individuals remain unaccounted for and are feared to be trapped beneath debris.
