BREAKING
Brigadier General Saree: The operation successfully achieved its goal and caused millions to flee to shelters.
Yemeni Armed Forces: We attacked several targets around occupied al-Quds with a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile with cluster warheads.
Hamas: We hold the US administration jointly responsible with the occupation for this crime due to its constant support for the aggression and crimes of the occupation against our people.
Hamas: Targeting the negotiating delegation while it was discussing the US president's proposal confirms that Netanyahu and his government do not want to reach any agreement.
Hamas: We call for urgent action to pressure the occupation to stop the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing and to achieve justice for our Palestinian people.
Hamas: The crime proved that the Zionist occupation is a threat to the region and the world, and that Netanyahu is trying to erase our national cause and the rights of our people.
Hamas: We confirm the enemy's failure to assassinate our brothers in the negotiating delegation, while several of our martyred brothers have ascended to the highest ranks of glory.
Hamas: The crime once again reveals the criminal nature of the occupation and its desire to undermine any chances of reaching an agreement.
Hamas: The crime represented an aggression against the sovereignty of the sisterly State of Qatar, which, along with sisterly Egypt, is playing an important and responsible role in sponsoring the mediation.
Hamas: The Zionist occupation's attempt to assassinate the Hamas negotiating delegation in Doha today is a heinous crime and a blatant aggression.

Military experts, who have previously held senior positions in the Israeli occupation military, confirmed that the war has come at a heavy cost, "one that is beyond what the soldiers of the Israeli army can bear."

Former Major General Noam Tibon, who served as the commander of the Israeli military's Northern Corps, said, "Unfortunately, the Israeli army is not telling the truth. We are short of 10,000 soldiers in this war, the equivalent of a full division."

The Israeli occupation military has also lost another division, between killed and wounded, throughout the war, Tibon told the Israeli Channel 12. 

It is worth noting that severe shortages in manpower within the Israeli occupation military have been reported, with reports revealing major reductions in combat soldiers, while the Israeli occupation government drafts the exemption of the Haredi community from military service.

The Israeli Security Ministry's Rehabilitation Department recently revealed that it has received at least 12,000 occupation soldiers since the start of the war in October 2023, including those diagnosed and suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Approximately 43% of the 12,000 troops suffer from PTSD, while 14% have sustained moderate to severe injuries, including 23 cases with severe head trauma, 60 cases of amputation, and 12 who permanently lost their eyesight. 

The former commander of the Northern Corps previously said that over 800 soldiers were killed, around 12,000 wounded, and thousands were suffering from shock since the beginning of the war. 

In this context, it is worth noting that Chief of Staff of the Israeli military Herzi Halevi and Security Minister Yoav Gallant are intensifying pressure on Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to secure a ceasefire agreement, Israeli media reported.

According to The Jerusalem Post, the Israeli military is seeking to move closer to a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, as it believes that only limited military gains can be achieved amid increasing frustration from the number of casualties recorded as the military faces strong resistance across all fronts.

The report further stated that Halevi and Gallant have urged Netanyahu to pursue a ceasefire that would facilitate the return of the remaining Israeli captives, both living and dead, held by Palestinian Resistance factions in Gaza.
