On January 23, the Israeli Defense Forces confirmed the largest losses as a result of a single attack in the Gaza Strip. The official representative of the IDF confirmed that more than 20 Israeli soldiers were killed during the fighting in the central part of the Palestinian enclave.
Last night, sources of the Al-Arabiya TV claimed that 22 Israeli soldiers were killed in the explosion of two buildings, the shelling of a tank and the explosion of a tunnel in Khan Yunis. 16 of the 22 Israeli soldiers reportedly entered the false tunnel entrance and died as a result of the tunnel explosion. Six more soldiers were killed when an anti-tank missile hit their armored vehicle. Six more servicemen are missing.
The IDF confirmed the incident, claiming deaths of 21 servicemen. According to the Israeli military, the soldiers carried out the demolition of the two adjacent buildings of the Hamas movement 600 m from the border of the Gaza Strip and Israel to create a buffer zone. At that time, representatives of the Palestinian movement attacked their tank that was providing security for Israeli fighters. Explosions thundered in two buildings at the same time: the buildings collapsed while most of the servicemen were inside.
“The IDF had planted explosives and were going to blow up” these buildings as part of the liquidation of infrastructure facilities. The army is “continuing to investigate [the incident] and is finding out the details of the incident and the cause of the explosion,” the IDF claimed.
In total, 200 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the start of the ground operation in the Gaza Strip on October 27, 2023, according to the IDF. The death toll of the Israeli army reached 535, since October 7, 2023, according to the Israeli official statistics. The number of wounded soldiers is 2,672.
this is great news. keep exterminating the child killers
very excellent news.
great news, the more the better
netanyahu’s operation to wipe out hamas to level gaza and kill women and children which is genocide of the palestinian people is by its very nature to fail. he must capitulate with hamas, withdraw his soldiers, and start a dialogue on the establishment of two states.
i think those days are basically gone. the middle east seems stirred up enough now to not stop until there is a wider war to take land back from israel. the wider war was the whole point all along from a handful of people at the top, through which the ‘man of peace’ will come with the crescendoing of all the other insane policies including normalizing pedophilia, their favorite past-time.
in their lust for blood they killed their own soldiers instead of women and children, great day for humanity!
showing that the admitted number of dead idf is total fairytale fiction from psychopaths charading around as godly men behind all of this. understanding the minds of people accepting this murderous hogwash, and the other lies like them throughout history and nations, is still beyond me. the best i can figure is that it is a combination of fear to contemplate, and mental laziness and complacency.
godly men in poopy pants
the russians and ukrainians must look at the incompetence of the idf and laugh. the idf would last about a week going up against either of them. the palestinians are slowly but surely destroying the idf mythos.
i am inclined to agree with you, but do not belittle the courage and skill of the palestinian resistance. “they used to say palestinians fight like heroes, now they say heroes fight like palestinians” norman finkelstein
i agree with you. the palestinians are destroying the myth of the idf and its invincibility incrementally.
they are going to have to kill and wound a whole lot of more israelis to destroy the so called invincibility myth! israel throughout its wars have only suffered minimal casualties while annihilating their enemies in battle! like it or not, israel is a super-power, and just like the u.s. you can hate them all you want, but you have to respect them!
you forgat that israel came to exist after ww2. there was no israel before ww2, so it seems that the ottoman empire was too much for the mighty usrael.. you need to read some history before talking bs about a country that ceased to exist for 1 thousand years.
superpowers don’t get bailed out with welfare programs like nickel grass.
i have not seen any incompetence from the israeli military, they might be genocidal and bloodthirsty, but i would not use the word incompetence to describe them! actually the israelis have unfortunately been doing a great job with killing the palestinians! so good in fact i believe that is why they shut of all communications from gaza since the hague opened an investigation!
to paraphrase what a few experts said. idf is good at dropping bombs, good at firing missiles, good at shooting kids who throw rocks, good at torture, not so good at fighting an organized army, not so good at urban warfare.
about a month ago, an article showed up with 12000 israeli soldiers in hospitals (and not all accounted for). consider typical 1/3 killed for 2/3 wounded, that would have been 6000 killed in about 3 months.. so in average 120 israeli soldiers dead per day..
seems too high.
the israeli wars always seem to have a hugher than average wia to kia than standard between 6 to 1 and 10 to 1. probably false statistics but even so there has to over 1000 dead since the invasion of gaza.
what hamas needs are more powerful weapons to wipe out this child murderers race
great news.
time for some good old-fashioned rich full-bodied carpet bombing. 3 months oughta do it. no more people, no more political problem, simple as that. israel has air superiority, so…
the jewish supremacist state is entirely dependent on the support of it’s patron in the us. they won’t be permitted to lash out over their failure in gaza with the kind of mass murder program you’re advocating.
sigh. “in total, 200 israeli soldiers have been [reported] killed since the start of the ground operation in the gaza strip on october 27, 2023, according to the idf. ” agreed, most western journalists are equally incompetent in discriminating between verified statement and potentially biassed assertions. indeed, western journalists are also generally incapable of finding %, €, and even £ signs on their keyboards.
that said, southfront is a valuable source of information, especially the maps of zionist military presence in the gaza ghetto. very useful for demonstrating the operational underperformance and strategic cluelessness of the zionist side. zahal must be longing to go back to shooting palestinian civilians.
even if it’s not enough casualties to destroy the idf, it may convince jewish moms and pops not to send their kids to fight for this zio project if theirs.
already like 2 million left this state of israel. if numbers like these keep coming, my guess is those 2 million won’t be in a rush to come back.
24 soldados israelenses mortos. israel mais débil e fraco. gaza é um moedor de carne israelense.
go hamas! bleed those judeo-fascist child murderers and send them screaming to hell.
the only time you can call the idf the most moral army in the world, is when they blow themselves up! good job ya bloody genocidal douche bag lil kid killers!
??????????????????????????????????????
nice news good kills keep them coming, no one should forget that 25,000 civilians are dead of which 70% are women and children and not to talk about the almost 100,000 wounded palestinians.
21 chicken sheets down, good work
i support the reduction of jewish carbon footprint.
