Tehran – Israeli occupation regime is increasing the number of casualties as Palestinian resistance intensifies.
Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have acknowledged the deaths of more soldiers in the fully blocked Gaza Strip.
In one major incident, maintenance technical officers and soldiers of the Elite Golani Brigade were killed after an attack by Palestinian resistance fighters.
The fighter jets exploded an explosive device targeting the NAMER Armored Staff Transporter (APC) in Khan Eunice, in the South Gaza Strip.
According to the administration’s newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, members of the Al-Qassam brigade, the armed wing of Hamas, mounted an explosive device on the APC and grabbed the fire.
Details reported by the Hebrew media show that armed fighters have emerged from a tunnel near the deployment area of Khan Yunis’ Golani forces.
They approached the Namer APC and planted the explosive device directly. Initial investigations revealed that three soldiers inside the car were injured in the explosion. Two of them died at the scene, the third was outdoor treatment and later airlifted to hospital by an IOF military helicopter.
Hebrew media shows that the number of soldiers injured in the attack is higher than the officially announced.
Separately, the IOF confirmed the death of another soldier who had previously succumbed to injuries when the explosive device targeted a military vehicle in Gaza.
The Hebrew media also reported a new “security incident” at Khan Eunice, with five IOF soldiers injured, including the brigade commander.
Previously, the IOF confirmed the death of a soldier from Ashkelon.
These announcements come amid continuing operations by Palestinian Resistance Forces. Palestinian resistance forces continue to ambush and attack on multiple fronts in the Gaza Strip, contributing to losses of both human and material.
The Al-Qassam brigade reported that they had conducted a complex ambush targeting three IOF armored craftsmen carriers east of Khan Younis.
According to their statement, the resistance fighters exploded two “Fedayeen-type” explosive devices pre-planted within the command compartments of the two APCs, burning them completely along with the crew.
The third APC was struck by a “Yasin 105” type guided missile in the area of East Abasan, near Kaannis.
The statement added that Alcasam Resistance fighters later observed by IOF military bulldozers who buried the damaged vehicle and wiped out the flames. The IOF helicopter was seen landing at the site to evacuate personnel.
In another statement, the Al-Quds brigade announced that the resistance fighter successfully destroyed the IOF military bulldozer (D9 model) using a high-powered “Thaqib” explosive device. The attack took place east of the Jabaria refugee camp in northern Gaza.
The Al-Quds brigade has released footage showing the minefield explosion using a high-explosive device targeting IOF military vehicles moving east of Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza.
