The latest casualties, identified as Lt. Yaron Eliezer Chitiz, Staff Sgt. Itay Buton, and Staff Sgt. Efraim Yachman, bring the total number of israeli soldiers killed since the start of the incursion into the Strip on October 7 to 498.

The extent of israeli military losses has become evident through precise statements released by the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza, along with visual footage showcasing targeted and well-coordinated strikes against the invading forces.

On Tuesday, the al-Qassam Brigades revealed a joint operation with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigades, targeting five israeli military vehicles near Jabalia al-Balad in northern Gaza. The Resistance fighters utilized Tandem and al-Yassin 105 projectiles in the attack, resulting in the deaths and injuries of Israeli soldiers barricaded in a building in the area.

In a separate significant operation, al-Qassam reported successfully luring an Israeli special force into a house in Beit Hanoun, north of Gaza, and demolishing it with anti-personnel IEDs, stun grenades, and a Shawaz armor-piercing explosive, leading to the complete annihilation of the Israeli force.

The Brigades also detonated a boobytrapped tunnel in an israeli force comprising eight soldiers east of the al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, causing casualties among its members. The total number of Israeli occupation soldiers killed during ground battles in the combat zones now stands at 164 since the commencement of the incursion. (ILKHA)
