Israeli media acknowledged on Tuesday the death of 46 soldiers and officers during an Israeli military operation in northern Gaza, specifically in the areas of Jabalia, Beit Hanoun, and Beit Lahia. The operation, which began three months ago, has come at a "very high cost," according to Israeli reports.

The announcement included the names of two recently killed soldiers: Sergeant Matityahu Ya'akov Perel and Sergeant Kanaoo Kasa, both from the 46th Battalion of the 401st Brigade. The name of a third soldier killed in northern Gaza has not yet been released, pending notification of his family.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Israeli military confirmed the death of team Sergeant Ido Samiach, a member of the Nahal Brigade's special forces, who was killed overnight in Beit Hanoun by the Palestinian Resistance. This brings the publicly acknowledged death toll among Israeli soldiers to 828 since October 7, 2023.

The high casualty count underscores the challenges facing the Israeli occupation forces in northern Gaza. Military analyst Yossi Yehoshua, from the Israeli i24NEWS channel, admitted that dismantling Hamas' military wing remains "very difficult".

Yehoshua previously noted that Hamas had successfully rebuilt its capabilities, recruited new fighters, and intensified its attacks. Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forces continue to face a "complex situation" with no clear resolution in sight, while awaiting progress on a potential deal.

Tough war for Israelis

Israeli soldiers are not only bearing the brunt of urban and guerilla warfare; they are also suffering on the legal end. Pro-Palestinian organizations have filed 50 complaints in local courts around the world against Israeli reserve soldiers for committing crimes in Gaza, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority revealed on Monday. 

In a report, the Broadcasting Authority noted an increase in attempts to prosecute Israeli army soldiers abroad since the outset of the aggression on Gaza in October 2023.

"Approximately 50 complaints have been filed against reserve soldiers, with ten of them leading to investigations in the respective countries, though no arrests have been recorded so far," the report stated. 

The authority further reported that data from the Israeli army's Information Security Department showed that occupation soldiers publish approximately a million pieces of online content per day, including incriminating footage documenting their involvement in crimes carried out in Gaza, heightening their risks of exposure and prosecution. 

Brazilian court orders probe into Israeli war crimes suspect

Recently, a Brazilian court directed police to investigate an Israeli soldier accused of committing war crimes in Gaza. The directive follows a complaint filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), a human rights organization "devoted to breaking the cycle of Israeli impunity."

The HRF alleges that the suspect, currently in Brazil as a tourist, was involved in the demolition of civilian homes in Gaza as part of the Israeli occupation's genocidal campaign.

"This individual actively contributed to the destruction of homes and livelihoods," said HRF lawyer Maira Pinheiro, referencing video and photographic evidence purportedly linking the suspect to the crimes.
