The Israeli military has reported multiple fatalities and injuries among its soldiers in ongoing combat operations in the Gaza Strip. On June 24, an ambush in Khan Younis resulted in the deaths of at least four Israeli soldiers and injuries to 17 others, some in critical condition. On June 25, the Israeli army confirmed the death of one officer and six soldiers in battles in southern Gaza. Further clashes in northern Gaza led to the deaths of several soldiers over the following days, including a soldier from the Combat Engineering Battalion 601 and a sergeant from the Armored Brigade 82. On July 7-8, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that five soldiers were killed and 14 wounded during fighting in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza, with the fatalities including two officers and injuries among soldiers described as severe. On July 9 and 11, additional casualties were reported, including the death of a soldier during combat in Khan Younis and the killing of a captain from the Golani Brigade in southern Gaza. The incidents reflect ongoing intense military engagements between Israeli forces and Palestinian fighters in both northern and southern parts of the Gaza Strip.
