"Israel's" expansion of its invasion of the Gaza Strip into central and southern regions has come with the price of tens of dead occupation soldiers.

On Thursday, the Israeli occupation forces admitted that three of their soldiers were killed while four others were critically wounded in the southern Gaza Strip.

A Staff Sergeant of the Duvdevan Unit in the Israeli Commando Brigade was killed after suffering severe injuries after Resistance fighters confronted invading forces in southern areas. Another Staff Seargent of the 35th Paratroopers Brigade was killed in the central Gaza Strip, while 3 other soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade’s reconnaissance unit were seriously wounded.

Another soldier from the Paratroopers Reserve 551st Briagde's 7008th Battalion was seriously injured in the northern Gaza Strip, the IOF announced.

Later, the IOF announced that a reservist Sergeant First Class of the Etzioni Brigade's 8173rd Battalion was killed in the northern Gaza Strip.

Diving into the pits of Hell

On Wednesday, the Israeli occupation admitted that 10 of its soldiers were killed in one day during its invasion of the Strip. Interestingly, the occupation's expansion of its ground invasion has led to a notable increase in casualties among its forces. This is primarily due to exemplary ambushes and operations executed by the Palestinian Resistance in Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah.

Near Gaza City, in al-Shujaiya, al-Qassam Brigades fighters destroyed or disabled several Israeli occupation armored vehicles, as evident in footage published by the Brigades depicting an Israeli armored vehicle that went up in flames in the area.

The total number of killed soldiers in the Gaza Strip since "Israel" launched its ground invasion is currently at 87, surpassing the death toll that "Israel" admitted following its failed invasion into the Gaza Strip in 2014, which amounted to 67 killed soldiers. On a broader scale, more than 413 Israeli occupation soldiers have been killed since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was launched on October 7.

Resistance fuels all axes

Concurrently, al-Qassam Brigades said its fighters targeted the Israeli occupation's command unit on the southern axis in Gaza City with its Rajoum 114 mm Multiple Rocket Launcher (MRL).

Moreover, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades announced that its fighters are engaging Israeli occupation forces in al-Shujaiya, targeting three Israeli armored vehicles with armor-piercing charges and tandem rocket-propelled charges.

It is worth noting that armor-piercing charges are planted onto the hulls of armored vehicles, requiring Resistance fighters to advance on foot toward their target, a remarkable process authenticated by al-Qassam's go-pros on previous occasions.

To the east of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine's (DFLP), National Resistance Brigades, announced the detonation of an improvised explosive device (IED), targeting intruding Israeli vehicles.

On its part, al-Mujahideen Brigades announced that its fighters launched a salvo of rockets toward occupied Askalan, to the north of the Gaza Strip.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the Gaza Strip confirmed that the Palestinian Resistance is engaged in fierce confrontations to the east of Khan Younis, al-Shujaiya, al-Tuffah, and East Gaza City.
