The Israeli occupation army published, in a statement, on Wednesday, the number of Israeli occupation soldiers it acknowledged to have been either killed or wounded since the start of the ethnic cleansing plot against the Gaza Strip.

According to the statement, 164 occupation soldiers had been killed since the start of the attempted Israeli ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, bringing the total death toll of soldiers since the start of the war to 498.

In turn, the number of wounded in the ranks of the IOF has, according to their numbers, reached 2,066 since the start of the war, with 874 soldiers injured in battles in Gaza.

Earlier today, the Israeli occupation military confirmed that three additional troops from the Givati Brigade were killed during battles in northern Gaza, which brought the number up to 164.

Friendly fire incidents among the IOF have become a repeated occurrence, highlighting the mental state of the occupation's troops during their battles against the Resistance.

On December 26, Israeli media reported a serious "friendly fire" incident in the Gaza Strip that took place last month, resulting in the death of two Israeli soldiers.

According to reports on an Israeli channel via Telegram, "soldiers on tanks mistakenly entered the borders of their brigade’s sector and misidentified one of the buildings as suspicious."

The channel provided further details, stating, "The soldiers, believing the building to be suspicious, decided to attack. They fired a tank shell at the second floor, only realizing afterward that the targeted building was, in fact, the field headquarters of one of the commanders overseeing infantry brigades in the sector."

It confirmed that "two soldiers who were on the second floor were killed instantly," detailing that "the battalion commander, who was on the first floor with other soldiers, was not injured."

It noted, "He called over the radio and asked who had fired, but the soldiers did not answer. An examination of the control systems revealed that the building had been fired upon by our forces."
