The occupying regime’s military on Wednesday announced the new fatalities that bring to 113 the total number of Israeli troops killed in the Gaza war.
Lieutenant Colonel Tomer Grinberg, commander of the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion, was among those killed.
Reports said seven of the eight slain Israeli forces were killed in an ambush by the Palestinian Resistance in the Gaza neighborhood of Shejaiya.
On Tuesday, the Israeli military put the number of its troops killed in Gaza at 105, saying 20 of them lost their lives by friendly fire and other accidents.
Another 582 regime soldiers have also been wounded in Gaza, including 133 seriously.
The Zionist regime waged the brutal war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas Resistance Movement carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 18,412 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 50,100 others.
On Tuesday, the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly voted for a resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, which is under “complete siege” by the Zionist regime.
The document expressed “grave concern over the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and the suffering of the Palestinian civilian population” amid Israel’s relentless assault.
