On Friday at dawn, the Israeli army admitted that one Israeli soldier was killed and several others were wounded during battles in the southern Gaza Strip. 

Under the "permitted to publish" clause, Israeli occupation forces disclosed the death of Staff Sergeant Noam Haba, a combatant in the 202nd Battalion of the Paratroopers Brigade. Additionally, several soldiers, including one from the 202nd Battalion, were injured.

In a related context, Israeli occupation forces acknowledged, on Wednesday evening, the death of an occupation soldier in the bombing that targeted the headquarters of the Northern Command in Safad, located in the north of occupied Palestine. The occupation further admitted to other soldiers sustaining injuries.

The IOF confirmed that the deceased soldier was a First Sergeant in Battalion 869, part of the 91st "Galilee Formation", which is a Military Intelligence Battalion responsible for the Israeli-Lebanese front. Moreover, Israeli media affirmed that a reserve soldier in the army was critically wounded, in addition to several other soldiers sustaining varying degrees of injuries.

Earlier this month, Israeli media outlets stated that an Israeli reserve soldier succumbed to injuries sustained in the Gaza Strip, highlighting that after his initial injury, he developed a severe fungal infection.

The Israeli Yedioth Ahronoth website reported that the soldier was even given an experimental drug, but this did not save his life.
