The regime’s media outlets, citing the director of the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon, reported that the hospital has treated more than 3,500 wounded individuals since the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm on October 7.

So far, the Zionist regime has acknowledged the death of 504 of its troops since the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas launched the surprise operation into the occupied territories, saying 167 of them were killed during the ground invasion of Gaza.

Earlier, the Zionist media outlet Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Israeli occupation officers had acknowledged that the Gaza war’s was mismanaged.

Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the Zionist regime on October 7, in retaliation for the regime’s ongoing violence against Palestinians. In response, the occupying regime waged a “genocidal” war on Gaza with the proclaimed aim of eradicating the resistance movement.
