The Israeli occupation army acknowledges the death of a First Sergeant and the critical injury of three others during confrontations with the Palestinian Resistance in the northern Gaza Strip. According to Israeli media, the killed sergeant was a fighter in the 932nd Battalion of the Israeli occupation's "Nahal" Brigade.

A fighter from the same battalion and a reserve fighter from the 636th Information Battalion, "Judea and Samaria 877" Brigade, were also seriously injured in the northern Gaza confrontations. Israeli media added that a fighter from the "Shaked" Battalion, "Givati" Brigade, was also seriously injured in the northern sector.

Earlier, the Israeli army admitted to the death of another soldier in its ranks due to serious injuries sustained in a previous battle against Palestinian resistance in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza.

With this, the number of officially recognized deaths in the Israeli occupation army has risen to 576 since October 7, 2023.

Despite the Israeli occupation army's strict control over the publication of the true numbers of its casualties and injuries, due to ground confrontations in the sector, aiming to conceal the extent of its losses, accurate data and recorded footage broadcast by Palestinian Resistance indicate that the losses incurred by the occupation are much greater than officially announced.

Heavy battles across Gaza as Resistance continues fight against IOF

Violent confrontations have resumed between the Palestinian Resistance and occupation forces in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of the city of Gaza, amid continuous Israeli attempts to take full control of the area more than 4 months into the aggression, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.
