Israeli media addressed on Sunday the increasing number of the Israeli occupation forces' killed soldiers during confrontations against the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza, which amounts to the size of a brigade.

Channel 12's military correspondent, Nir Dvori, said the Israeli military lost around 600 occupation troops, alongside 3,000 injuries, a number not observed for decades.

Earlier today, the Israeli occupation military confirmed that a Sergeant First Class was killed Saturday during confrontations with the Palestinian Resistance in Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City.

The military mentioned that the killed troop fought with the 932nd Battalion of the Nahal Brigade.

The announcement brings the total number of Israeli troops killed since the start of the war on Gaza to 595, including 252 since the start of the ground Israeli invasion of the besieged Strip.

Israeli political writer, Ben Kesbit said in the meantime, "There is nothing in Gaza, other than Hamas' attempt to return and build its capabilities in areas where the army had retreated", emphasizing that this is something "Israel" has absolutely no control over, according to the Israeli Walla! website.

The Israeli military continues to censor the actual number of killed and injured soldiers among its ranks during ground battles in Gaza as an attempt to conceal its losses, however, the accurate reports and footage published by the Palestinian Resistance show that the losses incurred on the IOF are much larger than they would admit.

Palestinian Resistance continues confronting 'Israel'

The al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, announced Sunday that it had struck an Israeli Merkava tank with a Yassin-105 anti-tank RPG west of the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood in Gaza City.

For its part, the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine (PIJ), said its Resistance fighters confronted the invading Israeli occupation forces with machine guns and anti-tank shells on al-Hilal al-Qadeem Street west of Khan Younis.

The Resistance faction's armed wing said in a statement that its fighters fired 60-mm mortar shells at an Israeli assembly point around the al-Shifa Medical Complex west of Gaza before striking an Israeli military vehicle with an RPG shell in al-Ara'isha, near the al-Amal neighborhood west of Khan Younis.

They also targeted an Israeli military vehicle with a guided missile at the Abu Saud roundabout south of the al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City.
