The Israeli occupation forces acknowledged Friday the death of a soldier during confrontations against Palestinian Resistance in the southern Gaza Strip.

Under "cleared for publication", the IOF stated that the deceased soldier was Moti Raveh, a sergeant in the reserves, who worked as an operator of heavy engineering machinery within the Givati Brigade.

The IOF added that the Israeli occupation soldier died after an anti-tank missile targeted a D9 bulldozer where he was present.

With this, the number of casualties in the Israeli occupation forces has risen to 688 soldiers and officers since the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, among whom 328 were killed since the start of the ground aggression against the Gaza Strip.

This comes as the Resistance in Gaza continues to confront the occupation forces across multiple axis points, especially in Khan Younis and Rafah in the south, for over 290 days, exacerbating the losses of the IOF both in personnel and equipment.

Military equipment shortages proved deadly for Israeli troops: Report

As talks of Israeli aggression against Lebanon gain traction in occupation circles, fears grow over the readiness and stockpiles of Israeli occupation forces. 

According to Israeli broadcaster Channel 12, the occupation's military is experiencing a "really dangerous" situation, in which it suffers from shortages affecting various equipment. 

As pointed out in Channel 12's report, the Israeli military command has been denying such claims in the past week. However, a recent extensive internal investigation has proven otherwise. 

Israeli regular, reserve, and volunteering forces complained to the broadcaster of shortages affecting essential military gear, including ballistic armor, helmets, optical sights, and bomb suits, all of which are considered to be life-saving equipment. 

Despite the shortage of individual gear among Israeli soldiers, a more dangerous scenario has come into effect. The broadcaster revealed that the status of the armory in a single Israeli formation led to drastically different results on the battlefield. 

According to the report, Israeli military equipment, which includes armored vehicles and tanks, is subject to different standards, as some gear and systems are not up to the general quality of military-grade equipment.
