Israeli media reported on Monday that three soldiers were killed and three others injured when an Israeli military vehicle was targeted with an anti-tank missile in the northern Gaza Strip.
In detail, the three soldiers from the 401st Armored Brigade were killed inside their tank around 12:00 noon today, while carrying out a mission in Jabalia to "decisive the battle against the local Hamas battalion and destroy its infrastructure, both above and below ground, in the area," according to the Israeli army.
According to Israeli media outlets, 10 soldiers from elite units of the occupation army were killed last week during ongoing operations in the Gaza Strip.
This brings the number of army deaths since the resumption of fighting in the Gaza Strip last March to 43.
The number of Israeli soldiers killed since the start of the ground operation in the Gaza Strip has reached 451, according to the occupation. In contrast, the total military losses since the outbreak of the war have reached 893.
Footage exposes vulnerability of Israeli forces in Gaza
The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas, revealed on Friday that its fighters attempted to capture an Israeli occupation soldier during a daring daylight raid east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. The group confirmed the operation targeted Israeli soldiers and military vehicles, including a Merkava tank and a troop carrier, using Yassin-105 rocket-propelled grenades.
The al-Qassam Brigades stated that, despite battlefield conditions preventing the capture of the soldier, the fighter responsible killed him and seized his weapon. "Abraham Azulai’s luck ran out," the statement said, "and soon, the next soldier’s fate will be different, as a new prisoner."
Al-Qassam had earlier released a video as part of its David’s Stones operation series, documenting the moment its fighters engaged an Israeli military convoy in the same area. The footage showed direct contact with Israeli troops, capturing one soldier fleeing while others appeared unprotected and unsupported during the confrontation.
The video also showed resistance fighters attempting to seize the fleeing soldier, before ultimately killing him and confiscating his weapon. Notably, the footage highlighted the absence of covering fire or any immediate response from nearby Israeli forces.
