‘Israel’ has acknowledged that three of its soldiers were killed and 11 others wounded, two critically, during fierce clashes with Palestinian resistance fighters in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday evening. The deadly confrontations erupted near the Jabaliya refugee camp, where a well-coordinated attack launched by the resistance targeted an Israeli military force.
Latest reports indicated that a number of Israeli soldiers were hit during a security incident in Shujaia, northern Gaz.
According to reports from Hebrew media outlets, the three Israeli occupation soldiers met their demise when a Humvee military vehicle they were traveling in was struck with pinpoint accuracy by an anti-tank guided missile fired by Palestinian resistance fighters. The operation, characterized by its precision, also left multiple other Israeli soldiers injured.

Chaos ensued as Israeli occupation forces attempted to evacuate their dead and wounded comrades from the battleground.
Resistance fighters unleashed another anti-tank missile, this time aimed at a plane belonging to the 663rd Air Evacuation Unit that was called in to extract the casualties. The attack inflicted further injuries on several Israeli soldiers, with one reported to be in critical condition.
Heavy resistance fire thwarted the evacuation efforts, while a military helicopter that attempted to land in the area also came under direct fire.
Compounding the Israeli occupation military’s woes, resistance fighters executed a third operation in which they detonated a booby-trapped house just as an Israeli infantry force entered it. The blast wounded more than ten soldiers, with varying degrees of severity.
The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, released a statement confirming the eruption of violent close-quarters combat between its fighters and Israeli occupation forces east of the Jabaliya camp. The Brigades asserted that the clashes, which were ongoing at the time of the statement, had resulted in casualties among the enemy ranks.
Meanwhile, in the southern Gaza Strip, the Qassam Brigades revealed that they had carried out a series of high-quality operations targeting Israeli vehicles and soldiers over the past two days. On Saturday, the Brigades launched a barrage of 13 mortar shells and three short-range “Rajum” rockets at a gathering of Israeli forces east of the town of al-Qarara, near Khan Yunis. The following day, they successfully targeted a D9 military bulldozer with an Al-Yassin 105 guided missile in the Qizan al-Najjar area. Shortly after, an Israeli tank in the same area was hit with a Shawaaz IED and another Al-Yassin 105 missile, resulting in direct injuries to its crew.

The Brigades confirmed that their field operations were part of their continued efforts to confront the Israeli ground invasion in the northern and southern Gaza Strip, noting that their fighters were monitoring enemy movements and responding to them using advanced military tactics.
The total number of wounded has risen to 5,921, including 3,582 minor injuries, 1,456 moderate injuries, and 883 severe injuries. As part of the ground exercise in the Gaza Strip alone, 2,687 injuries were recorded, including 1,369 minor injuries, 800 moderate injuries, and 518 severe injuries.
Military reports indicate that these figures do not include non-operational injuries or injuries whose severity has not yet been determined, and that they only reflect the most serious cases recorded in the official statistics.
Meanwhile, the Zionist occupation forces continued committing massacres against the innocent people in Gaza, killing on Tuesday at least 27 Gazans at one of the aid distribution centers.
