615 Israeli occupation soldiers have died since the start of the war, with 267 of them dying during ground maneuvers in the Gaza Strip, Israeli media reported today.

Regarding injured soldiers, it has been claimed that 3,361 Israeli occupation soldiers have been wounded since the start of the war, including 520 with critical injuries. Currently, 26 soldiers are in critical condition in various Israeli hospitals, 157 others have moderate injuries, and 60 have minor injuries.

In related news, Israeli media reported the deaths of three occupation soldiers on the front with Lebanon, while 40 soldiers and a settler were injured with various injuries during this week.

Earlier today, the Israeli occupation forces admitted the death of a soldier in its ranks during "operational activity" in the North.

The occupation's acknowledgment of its casualties and injuries from Hezbollah's fire comes amid strict military censorship and control, where footage documenting the Resistance's targeting being published by its military media shows that Israeli losses, in terms of lives and equipment, are much greater than announced.

Regarding Gaza, the high number of IOF casualties in battles with the Palestinian Resistance is equivalent to the size of an IOF brigade, according to Israeli media.

Israeli acknowledgments of the scale of losses come as the Palestinian Resistance continues to engage in fierce confrontations with invading occupation forces in the sector, not to mention what the Lebanese front, supported by Hezbollah, inflicts on the occupation, as well as the fronts in Iraq, Yemen, and Syria.

Hezbollah UAVs precise, unobstructed, Israeli reports say

The Israeli air defense division in northern occupied Palestine is not able to "100% confront" suicide drones, which are sent from a short range and fly at a low altitude, Israeli Channel 12 said Wednesday.

The channel's correspondent in the North, Guy Varon, admitted that the drone launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon on Tuesday in the direction of the Metulla settlement accurately struck their targets, stressing that many of the drones that penetrate the airspace, "film and collect information without hindrance by the security establishment."

The channel stated that it was permitted to publish that two reserve fighters from the 551st Brigade in the Israeli occupation forces were killed as a result of the attack, claiming that was only the third case in which drone attacks from Lebanon killed Israeli soldiers.

The Israeli channel talked about Hezbollah's capabilities and tactics in aerial attacks, quoting reservists serving in the North for seven months as saying that many small drones pass over their heads before they see the large explosive-laden kamikaze drones.

Speaking with Channel 12, the soldiers emphasized that "there is no actual Israeli response to the launch of drones from Lebanon," adding that "the drones penetrate the sky without warning many times."

The Israeli soldiers revealed that "even in cases where a warning is given, there is not always a fortified place, or it is not always accessible."
