The Israeli occupation forces admitted Monday that three of its officers were killed on the Southern Front, i.e., in the Gaza envelope throughout October.

The IOF said the officers were killed on October 7, October 10, and October 25.

Israeli media said earlier that over 1,500 Israelis were killed and 5,400 others were wounded since the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

A spokesperson for the Israeli occupation forces announced that 312 families were informed that their soldier relatives were killed, while 239 other families were informed that their relatives were held captive by the Palestinian Resistance.

Moreover, the spokesperson explained that while the IOF "expanded the ground operation in Gaza" it remained a complex endeavor.

How 'Israel' likely killed its own settlers on October 7: The Grayzone

An insightful report by The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal highlights the probable crimes committed by Israeli occupation forces against their own settlers on October 7.

Following the success of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, launched by the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza, the occupation's military command and soldiers were left in disarray, as base after base fell in the hands of Resistance fighters in the Gaza Envelope.

The Israeli military apparatus took actions that most likely led it to kill a number of its own settlers, according to the report.

A collection of photo evidence, statements, and testimonies of settlers in occupied territories, was the basis for the extensive report published by The Grayzone.

In the aftermath of the wide-scale confrontations in Envelope settlements and kibbutzim, the Israeli political and military command sought to frame "Hamas" fighters for the murdering of Israeli settlers in the area. The IOF and Israeli officials carried out a systematic campaign that sought to demonize the Palestinian Resistance, equating Hamas to ISIS while showing unverified evidence of the alleged acts.

Israeli officials carry on with their campaign to defame the Resistance, providing no evidence for the heinous crimes they were accused of committing, while a mere superficial investigation shows quite the opposite.
