Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have admitted to additional military casualties, which include an officer and seven soldiers who were wounded by Resistance fighters across the Gaza Strip.

The IOF spokesperson said four soldiers from the 603rd Lahav Battalion of the Combat Engineering Corps and a soldier from the 12th Battalion of the 1st Golani Brigade were seriously injured "in the battle in the southern Gaza Strip," in reference to axes of confrontation in the southern district of Khan Younis.

He also admitted that two soldiers from the Maglan Unit, a special force under the IOF's Commando Brigade, were seriously injured in the southern Gaza Strip.

Moreover, an officer enlisted under the 82nd Battalion of the Saar me-Golan 7th Armored Brigade, the oldest armored brigade of the IOF, suffered critical wounds in the northern Gaza Strip. 

In the same context, The Times of Israel reported that Lieutenant Colonel Shahar Barkai was wounded in the Gaza Strip. According to the Israeli outlet, Barkai, who has substituted for the commander of the Golani's 12th Battalion, was injured alongside five others after being targeted by an explosive device.

Meanwhile, another nine of Barkai's fellow soldiers were killed in the Resistance's ambushes on Tuesday. Nine Golani troops, including soldiers and officers, were killed in a well-executed ambush, which also killed several occupation soldiers sent to rescue a force of Golani soldiers that came under attack in Gaza's al-Shujaiya.

Resistance's operations hit hard again

Following a menacing blow dealt to the occupation's 51st Battalion of the Golani Brigade, the occupation regrouped to relaunch its attack on al-Shujaiya neighborhood located to the east of Gaza City. Its attacks on al-Shujaiya coincide with offensives on several other axes, including Khan Younis and al-Sheikh Radwan neighborhood. 

On Thursday, the Palestinian Resistance showed, yet again, that is ready to confront and push back against invading forces, regardless of the complexities it faces. Resistance factions announced several outstanding operations, including ambushes and offensives on Israeli positions within the Gaza Strip.
