The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) acknowledged on July 4 that one of its soldiers was killed during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip.
The soldier was killed in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood, according to the IDF, who said that he was reportedly serving in the Paratroopers Brigade’s 101st Battalion. His death brought Israel’s toll ground operations against the Hamas Movement and other Palestinian armed factions in Gaza and along its border to 325.
Separately, a reservist serving with the Alexandroni Brigade was seriously wounded in the central part of Gaza, the IDF added.
The IDF has been facing fierce resistance in Shejaiya and other parts of Gaza. On July 4, Hamas’ military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, and that of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the al-Quds Brigades, released videos of some of their recent attacks.
The videos show a number of recent mortar and rocket attacks that mainly targeted IDF gatherings in Shejaiya as well as an attempt to shoot down an Israeli AH-64 Apache attack helicopter with man-portable air defense systems over Gaza City.
Despite taking some losses, the IDF continues to hammer Gaza, causing more civilian casualties. The Hamas-run health ministry in the Strip reported over 50 deaths on July 4. Most of the victims were reportedly women and children.
“Israeli forces killed 58 people and injured 179 others in four ‘massacres’ against families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said in a statement. “Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them.”
According to the ministry, the latest deaths brought the overall Palestinian toll from the war on the Strip to 38,011 with more than 87,445 others wounded.
Earlier this week, Hebrew and Arab media both reported a breakthrough in the indirect talks on the war between Israel and Hamas after the last proposed a more acceptable deal draft that would lead to a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and secure the release of Israeli hostages taken to the Strip during the October 7 surprise attack.
While Israel has sent high-level negotiators to Doha to study the draft, it could eventually make more demands and sabotage the talks as it had done in the past.

1 to 38,000. the gutter rats not only mock the murdered kids, they even try to humiliate the remaining palestinians.
gaza in ruins. hamas flees to irak. 40.000 dead roaches in gaza.
yeah, arabs are winning this war!
lol
240,000 rats flee northern territories, 2 million flee the entire country, 900 resign from idf, religious zealots now targeted for induction, galilee kicks out idf and wants to ‘leave israel’, nearly all merkava4 are toasted, nearly all namers the same, idf death toll in the thousands, permanently disabled in tens of 1000s. hamas? alive and kicking ass. yeah, idf is really winning…the race to hell that is.
hamas not defeated, israeli intelligence incompetent, idf invincibility and deterrent shattered, israel isolated and exposed as a fascistic fraud on the global stage, jewish cockroach behavior exposed, economy bleeding, political fracturing, hardly any hostages freed, palestinian resistance still going strong, turks persians arabs united……yeah israel is winning the war, keep telling yourself that cupcake
agree fully, but i feel hezbollah should do more to help the pali jihad. same as houthis do disrupt & partly stop ship traffic through red sea with destination israel or usa&uk – hezbollah could disrupt and force to stop all pro-israeli ship traffic in the eastern part of the mediterrain sea. if israel gets practically sea blockaded by hezb anti-ship rockets and no goods come to them anymore theyll feel how it is to get starved themselves finally !
if hezbollah is afraid, that usa might intervene, if they flatten the pro-israeli ship traffic in the east mediterrain sea (especially the israeli coast region) – which might include us ammo &goods ships that go to israel – then i can asure you – usa will do nothing.as they’re in election mode right now.hezb should declare in before – for 1 month we are now going to forcefully (rocket-) stop all ship traffic going to israel in the mediterrain sea.
this double action, houthis blocking ship traffic to israel from the southeast resp. red sea – and hezbollah blocking the ship traffic to israel from the mediterrain sea – will make israel suffer economic shock, and if one is bolt enough to keep the blockade up for more then 3 months, pissrael will fully bleed dry economically, thus being forced to stop their gaza genocidal campaign !
remember keeping a whole army supplied only by air resupply is near to impossible (stalingrad), but keeping a whole country supplied with everything – just relying on foreign air resupplement is 100%impossible – not even usa can do that. so no way israel can cope with such a double sea blockade – without its economy imploding big time. and there’s nothing jews had more than not earning money – let alone starving to death.
idf is in ruins as well. oops. bragging about civilian deaths, typical zionist
disinfect the region from those jew roaches.
*islam is the fastest dying religion in gaza!*
yet the power of gazans has forced jews to enrol in the idf and to start a civil war
jews are hateful to the core. there is a reason the corrupt jew never has and never will have a kingdom that lasts 100 years.
the gazans have destroyed israel forever and when gaza is rebuilt and all jew pigs flee mid east the palestine will be rebuilt as the most advanced city on earth. and the jew rat will be living in shadows for eternity
why not invest your money in the jew tourist industry.
the only invasion israel is really good at is invading comment boards. but then again talk is all they are good at. military strategy? eh, not so good…otherwise they wouldn’t have to hide all their casualties. the real numbers of zionist dead is far and above the propaganda levels by their lying government, especially in the north. now the us is trying pass a law to hide palestinians massacred. lies at all levels.
the palestinians are the most courageous soldiers on earth, probably that ever existed. fighting against illegal occupation and an army of child killers. 🫡
where is abbas, the jew lover ? on vacation in switzerland counting his blood dollars???
one is not enough to make the jews disappear down a dark hole – need some serious culling of jews to free palestine!
