Another ten Israeli settlers have been killed in "Sderot" amid the ongoing Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, bringing up the number of Israeli casualties at least 25 in the Israeli settlement located a few kilometers away from Gaza.

Israeli media has also reported dozens of missing settlers. The Israeli government has admitted to 40 deaths and around 800 injuries so far.

The Israeli emergency services said there are dozens of fatalities and hundreds of injuries, some of whom cannot be reached.

They added that 600 injured individuals were transported to hospitals, 103 of which are in critical condition. Sixty settlers and soldiers in severe condition have been transported to the "Soroka" Hospital, according to the Israeli emergency services.

"What we witnessed today in #Gaza indicates that the Palestinian Resistance has lots of plans up its sleeve, amid its ability to enhance its security and military capabilities."

Furthermore, Israeli media outlets claim that the Israeli occupation forces have besieged a house in "Sderot" and are negotiating with Resistance fighters who are holding "hostages" inside.

Sources to Al Mayadeen said al-Qassam Brigades alone captured 35 soldiers from military positions and settlements around Gaza. 

Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, also holds multiple Israeli soldiers captives, according to its spokesperson Abu Hamza.

Israeli media also confirmed that the Palestinian Resistance has seized control of seven settlements, as footage and images of captured and killed soldiers went viral on social media.

Earlier, Israeli media outlets emphasized that the number of Israeli casualties cannot be ascertained, due to the ongoing operation.

Settlers are pleading for help, saying the occupation forces have abandoned them, while others in settlements unaffected by the ground attack were seen collectively fleeing the illegal settlements they built on ruins of occupied Palestinian land.
