Israeli media reported several Israeli soldiers were killed during confrontations with the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip.

Among those killed were two reservist officers from Battalion 2855 and 8111. Additionally, a reservist major, of Battalion 8111, was killed during battles in southern Gaza.

Another major was also reportedly killed in what the IOF called a "military accident."

The Israeli Occupation Forces also acknowledged the injury of a reservist fighter of Battalion 8111, reportedly sustaining serious injuries during a battle in the southern Gaza Strip.

Concurrently, Israeli media reported that despite the army announcing the injury of 1593 soldiers since the beginning of the war, hospital data is much higher.

Last week, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) announced that the death toll of their forces has risen to 84 since their invasion of Gaza began, bringing the total death toll since October 7 to 408 Israeli soldiers.

Although the IOF does not disclose its total losses in Gaza, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported days ago that it received a letter with the total number of those killed in Israeli occupation forces in confrontations with the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza.

Haaretz reported that the IOF acknowledged the death of nearly 1,000 soldiers since the war on Gaza began, after it refused to provide any data regarding the total numbers of those killed and wounded, while also asking hospitals to remain confidential.
