The occupation army announced today, Saturday, that 7 soldiers were injured in clashes last Thursday in the Gaza Strip, amid the continuation of fierce battles in Khan Yunis, south of the Strip, and the Zaytoun neighborhood in its center, while the Gaza Ministry of Health said that the number of victims of the ongoing aggression on the Strip reached 29,606 martyrs.
The Israeli army did not add any information about the nature of the battles that led to the injury of 7 soldiers and officers in the Gaza Strip.
This brought the number of Israeli soldiers who were injured since the beginning of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip on October 7 to 2,962, including 1,397 injured since the beginning of the ground attack on the 27 of the same month.
The battles continue
Meanwhile, clashes continue between Palestinian resistance factions and the occupation forces in the city of Khan Yunis and the Zaytoun neighborhood.
The Al-Quds Brigades - the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement - announced that it had bombed with mortar shells gatherings of Israeli soldiers and military vehicles on the front lines of Khan Yunis.
The Israeli army said that its forces are engaged in fierce battles in Khan Yunis, adding that forces from the 162nd Division continue to fight in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, south of Gaza City.
The clashes intensified in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood two days ago, and the resistance factions announced that they had targeted occupation vehicles and soldiers several times in the area.
