Gaza: 3 Israeli soldiers killed, 12 injured in battles in Jabalia, occupation commits massacres

The Israeli army announced today, Monday, the killing of 3 soldiers and the wounding of 12 others during battles in the Jabalia camp, while the occupation raids left 35 martyrs in the Gaza Strip since dawn today, Monday.

Channel 14 Israel said the dead were from the Givati Brigade, adding that 10 gunmen attacked an army force using rockets and automatic weapons while it was on leave.

Prior to the official announcement, Israeli media reported a "difficult and unusual event" that the Israeli army was exposed to in the Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip, where resistance operations are continuing despite the massive bombing and destruction as part of the ongoing war of extermination there.

"The dead and wounded soldiers were on a truck loaded with explosives," the source said, adding that the truck exploded after a Palestinian gunman fired an anti-tank shell at it in Jabalia.

Al-Aqsa TV quoted the Israeli website "Lebanon Shetah Ish" as saying that the explosives in the truck were to be used to blow up houses in Jabalia.

Palestinian sources reported that Israeli helicopters landed for the third time to evacuate the dead and wounded who fell in the operation.

Earlier today, Israeli media reported the death of two soldiers in a preliminary toll of the difficult event in Jabalia.

Last Thursday evening, the Israeli army acknowledged the death of 32 of its soldiers since the start of the large-scale military operation in the northern Gaza Strip on October 5, describing the toll as a heavy price.

Resistance operations

Meanwhile, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, announced that it had bombed - in cooperation with the Al-Amoudi Brigade of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - the command and control headquarters of the Israeli occupation forces in the Netzarim axis, which separates the central Gaza Strip from its north.

The Brigades also announced that they had taken control of an Israeli suicide plane in the skies of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip before carrying out an offensive mission, and published footage of Israeli drones after taking control of them while carrying out intelligence missions in the city’s skies.

Al-Aqsa Brigades, the military wing of Fatah, also announced that it had bombed - in conjunction with the Al-Quds Brigades - the occupation's command and control headquarters in the vicinity of the Turkish hospital on the Netzarim axis with "107" missiles.

The battalions displayed - via the Telegram application - footage showing the targeting of a gathering of Israeli soldiers with missiles on the same axis.
