The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) announced the summoning of 300,000 reserve forces, "in the largest operation ever of its kind."

The Minister of Occupation Security, Yoav Galant, during his inspection of the Southern Command, on Monday, announced the imposition of a complete siege on the Gaza Strip, saying, "There will be no electricity, no food, and no fuel. Everything is closed."

For its part, the Israeli newspaper "Maariv" reported that the IOF had brought in reinforcements along the border with the Gaza Strip, noting that it had pushed tanks and heavy artillery to 20 locations.

However, it is significant to note that Palestinian Resistance fighters continue to be present throughout multiple Gaza envelope settlements, as confrontations remain ongoing on that front. Moreover, the separation fence, built by "Israel" to segregate the Gaza Strip, has been breached in tens of spots, making it very difficult to contain the strip, especially without securing the envelope settlements.

Israeli media had reported that the number of Israeli deaths had reached 800, and the number of wounded settlers reached 2,400, including dozens of settlers in serious danger, adding that there are still 230 missing Israelis.

On the other hand, Israeli media confirmed that the announced death toll is very far from the true numbers relative to what had happened in the Gaza envelope settlements.

Likewise, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that recent estimates indicate that the number of Israeli deaths has reached 1,000, adding that among the Israeli dead are 73 soldiers, including five from the elite Golani Brigade.

The newspaper noted that among those dead were 73 soldiers, including five from the elite Golani Brigade, and several high-ranking military commanders such as Colonel Roi Levy and Colonel Jonathan Steinberg, who served as the commander of the Nahal Brigade, as well as the commander of the communications battalion, the deputy commander of the Maglan unit, a company commander, a platoon commander in the Home Front Command, the commander of the 481st Computer Battalion, and crew commander in the Duvdovan unit.
