BREAKING
Abu Zaid: I believe that the Iranian operation was multi-layered, combining cyber and electronic attacks with coordinated on-the-ground infiltrations by agents
Abu Zaid: Usually, archives of such sensitivity are typically protected by a full-scale security system, but it appears that Iranian intelligence managed to make use of a gap in it
Strategic military expert Nidal Abu Zaid: Iran has stripped "Israel" of the superiority and deterrence long boasted by its security minister, chief of staff, and other top officials
Fallahpour: Iran may use these documents in its battle with the United States and Western countries over its nuclear program
Fallahpour: Iran may have obtained additional documents related to "Israel's" regional projects, not just its nuclear program
Fallahpour: The coming weeks will be full of surprises, as Iran has forced Israeli intelligence agencies into a state of psychological exhaustion
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Tehran, Siavash Fallahpour: Iran has redefined the concept of deterrence, shifting it away from traditional military balance toward a new strategic framework
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Number of documents so great that merely studying them, along with accompanying images and footage will require a great deal of time.

Sources to Al Mayadeen: Operation had taken place in past, but large size of documents and need to transfer entire batch inside Iran necessitated secrecy.

The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas Resistance movement, said Friday that a minefield consisting of five IEDs blew up an Israeli infantry unit and several infantry fighting vehicles and other military vehicles north of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.

A special Israeli unit holed up in a residential building north of the Bureij refugee camp was attacked with TBGs before they were engaged in urban combat with assault rifles. The Resistance fighters inflicted a high number of casualties among them and said they destroyed a D9 bulldozer that was supposedly accompanying the aforementioned soldiers.

The Resistance also said it shot down a Skylark-2 reconnaissance drone over Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza.

The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, announced that it bombed numerous Israeli military sites, an Israeli operations center, several assembly points, and military vehicles at Hill 86 Al-Kurd north of Khan Younis.

The Israeli losses are on a steady uptick, as the IOF lost on Thursday two officers and a Sergeant First Class. The officers include a reserve Captain Neriya Zisk, a company commander in the 401st Armored Brigade's 52nd Battalion, and Major Dvir David Fima, the deputy commander of the 460th Armored Brigade's 198th Battalion.

Each day, approximately 60 new injured Israeli soldiers are admitted to the rehabilitation department, which supports the wounded from the Israeli army and reserve forces. This figure does not account for those with regular wounds, as reported by "Israel's" Ynet news website on December 9.

The cumulative numbers since October 7 are "astronomical": More than 5,000 wounded Israeli soldiers have arrived at the hospitals, more than 2,000 have been officially recognized as disabled by the Israeli army and taken in by the Ministry of Security, and another 1,000 wounded are regular soldiers and are therefore being treated by the Israeli occupation forces, as per Israeli media.

Limor Luria, the head of the rehabilitation department at the Ministry of Security, stressed that they have never been through anything even similar to this, adding that more than 58% of the wounded who are taken in by the Ministry have sustained severe injuries to their hands and feet, including injuries that require amputations. 

About 12% are internal injuries - Spleen, kidney, laceration of internal organs, she specified.

There are also head and eye injuries, and about 7% suffer from mental illnesses, a number that will skyrocket as it would take some time before they are diagnosed.

Israeli Channel 12 revealed earlier that some 3,000 of those wounded in the war on Gaza were classified as "people with permanent disabilities in the army."

This comes after the Israeli occupation forces revealed that the number of soldiers killed in action since October 7's Operation al-Aqsa Flood has reached 501.
