The Israeli military spokesperson announced on Monday evening the deaths of an officer and two soldiers from the Kfir Brigade during confrontations in the northern Gaza Strip.
Israeli media revealed that the officer who was killed held the position of deputy company commander.
Reports indicated that an Israeli military unit fell into an ambush in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza, where an explosive device detonated near them, resulting in the deaths of the officer and two soldiers, and injuring another soldier moderately.
Following the initial explosion that caused the casualties, a second Israeli unit arrived at the scene, only to encounter another explosive device. However, no additional injuries were reported in the second incident.
Israeli Army radio stated that since the beginning of the 162nd Division's military operation in northern Gaza, a total of 38 Israeli soldiers from the division have been killed.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Resistance forces carried out multiple operations in northern Gaza on Monday, targeting Israeli troops and their vehicles.
Martyrdom operations flare up in Gaza
Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, announced in a statement on Sunday evening that its fighters, in coordination with the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, targeted Israeli occupation forces and confirmed the capture of an Israeli reconnaissance drone north of the Nuseirat Refugee Camp in central Gaza.
The statement from the al-Quds Brigades further claimed that one of its members infiltrated an Israeli armored personnel carrier and carried out a special operation, detonating a bomb inside it, as part of a martyrdom operation targeting soldiers at the entrance to the al-Return Towers in the Azbat Beit Hanoun area in northern Gaza.
This operation constitutes the second operation of its kind, with the first having been conducted a couple of days ago by al-Qassam Brigades.
Al-Quds Brigades also released footage of its fighters targeting Israeli occupation soldiers and military vehicles with explosive devices in the west of the al-Tawam region in northern Gaza.
