Clashes Between Palestinian Fighters, Israeli army in Gaza Leaves 7 Soldiers Killed, Wounded

The Israeli army announced today, Friday, that 4 of its soldiers were killed in the ongoing battles in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli army said that the total number since the start of the ground attack brought to 23 those killed in its ranks.

In a related context, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation reported that 3 other soldiers were seriously injured during battles in the northern Gaza Strip.

The military spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades (the military arm of Hamas), Abu Ubaida, confirmed yesterday that the number of Israeli army deaths is much higher than what army commanders announce in official statements.

For the twenty-eighth day, the Israeli army continued to bomb the Gaza Strip, where the escalation began between the Palestinian Hamas movement and the Israeli forces after Hamas launched, at dawn on Saturday, October 7, the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation.
