The Israeli army confirmed today the deaths of two soldiers and injuries to others during clashes with Palestinian resistance forces in the southern Gaza Strip.
Under the “deployment permitted” clause, the Israeli army announced that the two deceased soldiers were sergeants from the “Nahal” Brigade.
Israeli media reported that a building in the Gaza Strip housing several soldiers exploded. Subsequently, a military helicopter transported a number of wounded soldiers to Shaare Zedek Hospital in occupied Al-Quds.
Earlier, the Israeli army acknowledged the death of Sergeant Yakir Levy from the 601st Battalion of the Engineering Corps amid ongoing battles in Gaza.
With today’s casualties, the death toll for the Israeli army since the onset of the war on October 7 has reached 664, including 314 killed since the beginning of the ground operation in Gaza. Additionally, 3,617 soldiers have been injured, according to official reports.
Continued Losses for Israeli Occupation Army in Gaza
The Israeli occupation army’s losses against the Palestinian resistance in Gaza have continued to mount. Enemy media reported that an Israeli soldier was killed and several others were injured following the collapse of a building in the Gaza Strip.
The death toll of occupation soldiers rose to twelve within twenty-four hours after the army confirmed the deaths of two soldiers. The occupation army had earlier acknowledged that ten soldiers were killed in two specific resistance operations.
Resistance Strikes Persist
Meanwhile, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, announced that their fighters had successfully ambushed an Israeli force in the Saudi neighborhood west of Rafah.
They reported destroying a military vehicle with an RPG shell, resulting in casualties among the Israeli troops.
The Al-Quds Brigades released footage showing missile salvos targeting occupied cities and settlements surrounding the Gaza Strip. These attacks were carried out in retaliation for the Zionist enemy’s crimes against the Palestinian people.
