The Israel acknowledges the killing of 3 more of its soldiers by Hamas.
According to the Israeli TV channel i24, the Israeli army announced in a statement that Sergeant Shoham Menachem, 21, Sergeant Shlomo Yaker Shram, 20, and Sergeant Yuli Factor, 19, all members of the 52nd Armored Battalion in the northern Gaza Strip, lost their lives during a clash with Palestinian resistance fighters.

In its statement, the Israeli army said that it was investigating the cause of the incident and continued: A massive explosion occurred inside a Merkava tank carrying Israeli soldiers from the 52nd Battalion of the 401st Armored Brigade, killing three crew members and wounding the tank commander and an officer.
In this regard, Yair Golan, head of the so-called Democratic Alliance of Israel, said that today three of our soldiers (the Zionist army) fell victim to an endless political war.
The Zionist army, which has refused to provide statistics on the number of its soldiers killed and wounded since the beginning of the attack and genocide against the people of Gaza and has imposed a policy of severe censorship on its media in this regard, added: “With the inclusion of the three recent soldiers killed, the number of Israeli army deaths since the start of the war in October 2023 has risen to 893.”
Earlier, the Zionist media had reported four security incidents in different areas of the Gaza Strip and the deaths of four Zionist soldiers in these incidents.
According to IRNA, since the violation of the ceasefire in Gaza and the resumption of the Zionist regime’s attacks on March 18, the Palestinian resistance has increased its operations by using various tactics, surprises, and ambushes for the Zionist soldiers, which has led to the killing and wounding of dozens of Zionist soldiers.
