ALBAWABA - The Israeli army announced that the number of Israeli soldiers killed has risen to 587 since last October.
In a new data, the Israeli armed forces revealed that one soldier was killed and 13 others were injured in Gaza battles.
"David Sasson, 21, a soldier in the Oketz unit (which relies on dogs in many of its activities), fell in a battle in the southern Gaza Strip," the army reported.
It added that "three soldiers from a commando unit and two from the Oketz unit were seriously injured (in the same battle)."
According to the latest data, the death toll in the Israeli army since the beginning of the war has jumped to 587 soldiers and officers, including 247 since the beginning of the ground operation in Gaza on Oct. 27.
Al-Aqsa Flood operation against Israel
Hamas military group announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel which is the biggest offensive in decades.
Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip, captured military bases, and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel and others paragliding into occupation territory.
In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
The latest statistics by the Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed that the death toll from Israeli brutal pounding on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has soared to 30,800, with more than 72,298 injuries.
Since then, approximately 85% of Gazans have been displaced, all of whom are suffering from severe food insecurity, and the healthcare system has collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of people lack shelter, and aid trucks are entering the area at a lower rate than before the conflict began.
