In the latest update from the ongoing conflict, Israel has reported two additional soldiers killed, bringing the total death toll to 193 since the commencement of ground operations in Gaza.
Staff Sgt. Oriya Ayimalk Goshen, 21, a member of the Givati Brigade’s reconnaissance unit from Jerusalem, lost his life during a battle with Hamas fighters in southern Gaza. The same confrontation resulted in two other soldiers sustaining serious injuries.
Master Sgt. (res.) Anwar Serhan, 26, affiliated with the Etzion Regional Brigade’s 910th Battalion from Hurfeish, tragically lost his life in a car crash while on duty in the West Bank.
Amid the ongoing operations, Israeli forces appear to have withdrawn from the vicinity of Khan Younis, the largest hospital in southern Gaza. This move followed attacks on the medical compound, causing panic among the thousands seeking shelter there.
Additionally, the cemetery of Khan Younis bore severe damage during the Israeli army operations in the area. The situation on the ground remains fluid as the conflict continues to impact both military and civilian infrastructure in the region.
