An Israeli media outlet confirmed that a helicopter from Unit 669 of the Israeli occupation forces crashed in the Gaza Strip last night due to a "technical malfunction."

The report stated that the crash resulted in three deaths and eight injuries, four of which were critical. The helicopter had been dispatched to rescue an IOF soldier who had been wounded by sniper fire.

It is worth noting that Unit 669, part of the Israeli occupation's Air Force, is known as the Special Tactical Rescue Unit or Combat Rescue Unit. It specializes in ground, air, and sea rescue operations and is considered one of the elite units in the Israeli occupation army.

IOF colonel who propagated 'beheaded babies' story critically injured

A metal rod pierced the body of Israeli occupation Colonel Golan Vach, the Israeli officer who gained international attention for his false claims about beheaded babies and rape incidents on October 7, after a tunnel collapsed on him in central Gaza according to the Quds News Network.

The Resistance operation, wherein they detonated a booby-trapped tunnel after luring the Israeli occupation forces into it, left the former IOF commander in critical condition. 

It is important to note that Vach, shortly after Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was launched, had claimed to have personally seen Hamas behead babies and rape women. That narrative he propagated was later debunked by Israeli settlers who survived the deadly Hannibal Directive enacted by the IOF that day, in accordance with which Israeli troops killed their own settlers.
