The Israeli occupation's police announced the death of a member of the Yasam patrol unit in the police's al-Naqab district, who was killed on October 7; his body was taken to Gaza.

His death increases the toll of slain Israeli occupation police officers in the war on Gaza to 61, with the vast majority of them occurring on the morning of October 7.

Earlier today, Israeli media reported that three Israeli occupation troops were killed on Tuesday in ongoing battles in the Gaza Strip, raising the number of killed troops since October 7 to 560. Meanwhile, the number of Israeli troops killed since the start of the ground invasion of the Gaza Strip now stands at 223, as per Israeli media.

For the 117th day, the Palestinian Resistance persists in engaging in intense confrontations against the Israeli occupation forces on all axes in Gaza.

On Tuesday, the Palestinian Resistance confirmed targeting Israeli occupation tanks and troops, resulting in casualties and injuries among the invading forces, especially in Gaza City and Khan Younis in the southern part of the Strip.

According to official Israeli occupation military figures, 2,784 soldiers have been injured since October 7, while Israeli media insist that the actual number is much higher.

In a related context, the British newspaper The Telegraph reported that the number of killed and injured Israeli troops since October 7 is the "worst in four decades."

It is worth noting that the Israeli military establishment imposes strict control on the publication of the numbers of dead and injured members of the troops, in an attempt to hide the large losses it suffers among its ranks during the ongoing and escalating battles with the Palestinian resistance.

The extent of the losses incurred by the occupation forces during ground battles in the fighting fronts is evident through the accurate statements issued by the Palestinian Resistance, and the video clips documenting its targeting, directing qualitative strikes, and placing the invading forces in precise ambushes.
