The Israeli channel Kan stated that the Israeli death toll has risen to 1,300, with over 3,300 reported injuries, including 28 in critical condition, as a result of the ongoing Operation Al Aqsa Flood, now in its 6th day.

In the latest update, the Israeli occupation revealed 31 new names of Israeli Occupation Forces members, including high-ranking officers. The IOF spokesperson confirmed that the death toll of IOF members had reached over 220, and there were 60 occupation soldiers held captive in the Gaza Strip.

Yediot Ahrnot, an Israeli news outlet, corroborated the Israeli death toll exceeding 1,300 and noted that Israeli captives held by the Resistance in the Gaza Strip exceeded 60, with more than 200 captives.

Israeli media reported that families of the Israeli settler captives warned the Israeli occupation President, Yitzhak Herzog, that they would "shake Israel" if the captivated Israeli Occupation Forces were not returned.

Previously, Al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson Abu Obaida stated that the number of Israeli prisoners held by Hamas "exceeds the enemy's expectations."

Israeli media also highlighted growing anger and frustration among settlers in the Gaza Envelope who strongly criticized the security and military institutions of the occupation.

Abu Hamza: Lebanon events sheer example of what is awaiting 'Israel'

The military spokesperson for Al-Quds Brigades - the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) - Abu Hamza revealed on Wednesday that the battle may soon expand to include the occupied Palestinian territories in 1948, stressing that the battle is no longer limited to the Gaza Strip.

In an audio speech regarding the developments of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Abu Hamza said that other fronts may soon join in the battle.

He stressed that the scope of fire was expanding and that what the Israeli occupation witnessed in South Lebanon was merely a small example of what was awaiting the enemy, reassuring everyone that victory was just around the corner.

Addressing the Resistance in the West Bank, Abu Hamza called on the Jenin and Lions' Den brigades, as well as the Palestinians to engage in confrontations with the Israeli occupation.

Furthermore, the military spokesperson threatened the Israeli occupation, “We have come prepared for you outside Palestine just as we were inside Palestine, and the events that unfolded in the Gaza Envelope shall be mirrored in other battlegrounds.”

On Wednesday, at 9 pm sharp, codenamed the Hour of al-Bahaa, Al-Quds Brigades announced the launching of large missile salvos toward "Tel Aviv", "Ashkelon", and "Sderot", in response to the massacres and targeting of civilians in Gaza.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) had previously announced the capture of 30 Israeli soldiers during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood launched by the Palestinian Resistance last Saturday morning, and its military spokesperson warned “Israel” of “an unknown fate for its soldiers and settlers.”

Meanwhile, PIJ Secretary-General Ziyad al-Nakhalah confirmed that "Israel" must acknowledge defeat if it wishes to stop incurring additional casualties and prisoners.

He continued to say that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood revealed the weakness of the enemy and left it paralyzed. He added that it became clear that the enemy was fragile since the early hours, and this was evidenced by their pleas for help from the United States. 

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation army spokesperson announced that the number of soldiers killed had risen to 189 by Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, as per Israeli media. The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that the number of Israeli deaths had risen to about 1,200, while more than 2,900 settlers were injured.

This comes as "Israel" fears Hezbollah and Syria joining in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood from the Northern front to support the Resistance factions in the Gaza Strip, which will lead to increased pressure on the Israeli army, which is already floundering in weakness and internal dispersion.
