Israeli sergeant sniped by resistance fighters in southern Gaza

The Israeli military has announced the killing of another soldier as resistance fighters press ahead with retaliatory operations amid the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

The occupation’s military said on Monday that Sergeant Omer Ginzburg, 19, of the 101st Paratroopers Brigade, had been killed in a sniper attack in the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis.

Meanwhile, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas resistance group, said in a statement that its fighters, in cooperation with the fighters of Saraya al-Quds Brigades, the Islamic Jihad’s armed wing, had sniped an Israeli trooper in the al-Zana area, east of Khan Yunis.

A total of 690 Israeli soldiers have been killed since October 7, 2023, including 330 who have been slain since the beginning of the ground invasion of Gaza late that month, according to figures by the regime’s military.

Earlier, Israeli media reported that the regime underreports fatalities among its forces, and that the number of casualties announced by the Israeli military is much lower than the figure provided by hospitals in the occupied territories.
