The Israeli occupation army (IOF) admitted on Thursday that one of its soldiers sustained serious injuries during confrontations in the southern Gaza Strip on Wednesday.

In an official statement, the occupation army reported that the injured soldier belongs to the armored corps of Battalion 71, under Brigade 188. According to Israeli media, the soldier was hit by shrapnel from a mortar round that struck his head, and was subsequently evacuated to a hospital for treatment.

The incident highlights the vulnerability of occupation forces amid ongoing Palestinian resistance operations targeting military units throughout the Gaza Strip.

On Tuesday, the IOF announced the death of one of its soldiers, as Palestinian Resistance operations continued to inflict casualties on the occupation military.

The Israeli military acknowledged the death of a 36-year-old reserve Staff Sergeant, who served in the 7020 Battalion of the 5th Brigade and was killed during battles in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

Palestinian Resistance operations escalate

The Palestinian Resistance continues to conduct tactical operations and ambushes on multiple fronts in the Gaza Strip, inflicting both human and material losses on the Israeli occupation forces.

In this context, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades reaffirmed their readiness for a prolonged battle of attrition against the Israeli occupation. The Brigades vowed to escalate their operations using newly developed and diverse tactics aimed at exhausting enemy forces.

A few days earlier, Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, declared that the group’s current strategy is centered on "inflicting casualties on the enemy, carrying out special operations, and seeking to capture soldiers."

Over 18,500 Israeli troops wounded since beginning of war

In a report earlier this week, the Israeli occupation recorded more than 18,500 injuries among its forces since the start of its war on the Gaza Strip, according to a report published on July 21 by Israeli Channel 12. The figures underscore the growing toll of nearly 10 months of warfare, with a significant number of those wounded suffering from both physical and psychological trauma.

According to the report, at least 12,500 troops sustained physical injuries, while more than 10,000 are dealing with post-traumatic stress and other psychological conditions, reflecting the intensity of combat and the deep mental strain within the ranks of the Israeli occupation forces.

The data revealed that 33% of the physical injuries involved the limbs, 13% affected the head, eyes, or ears, and 7% were related to the spine, neck, or back, which are injuries typically associated with high-intensity urban warfare and repeated exposure to explosions.
