ALBAWABA - Israeli military losses have reached their highest level since the war on Gaza began. Palestinian resistance elements are engaging Israeli soldiers on three fronts, ambushing, attacking military vehicles, and firing rockets toward Israeli communities.
Two days earlier, Israeli media reported that Colonel Yogev Bar-Shushan, a top security official, was injured in Gaza's Zaytoun area confrontations. Bar-Shushan, one of Gaza's highest-ranking commanders wounded, was sent to Ichilov Hospital.
The Israeli military is operating in Jabalia, Gaza City's Zaytoun district, and eastern Rafah. Under intense bombardment, these operations have killed several Palestinians and displaced families.
The Israeli army's spokesman said the 98th Division launched a military assault in Jabalia after information showed Hamas reestablishing infrastructure. Israeli airstrikes hit 30 locations before the ground assault.
Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades declared a series of raids, ambushes, and rocket launches against Israeli communities. The organization claimed to have targeted 8 Israeli tanks, killing troops.
Successful drone attacks on Israeli tanks and mortar firing on military positions were filmed by Al-Qassam.
Al-Quds Brigades, Islamic Jihad's military branch, fired large mortar bombs onto Israeli soldiers. The Israeli army replied with airstrikes, ground operations, and Rafah building demolitions as conflict escalated.
Mediation fails to stop the bloodshed, worsening Gaza's humanitarian situation. UN experts and human rights organizations have denounced the fighting for its catastrophic effect on Palestinian people, especially children and women, and civilian infrastructure.
