The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on November 20 that a reserve soldier was killed and a senior officer was seriously wounded during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip a day earlier.
The slain soldier was named by the IDF as Sergeant First Class Roi Sasson of the Kfir Brigade’s Nahshon Battalion. The commander of the battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Yoel Glickman, was seriously wounded in the same incident, according to the military.
Hebrew media reported that the circumstances of the deadly incident, which occurred in the town of Beit Lahiya, were still being probed by the IDF.
Just three days earlier, two soldiers from the Nahshon Battalion, Captain Yogev Pazy and Staff Sergeant Noam Eitan, were killed during an exchange of fire with fighters from the Gaza-ruling Hamas Movement in Beit Lahiya, according to an IDF probe.
Pazy was a platoon commander in the Nahshon Battalion. The military said at the time that another soldier with the battalion was seriously wounded in the same incident.
In recent days, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, released several videos showing its fighters clashing with IDF troops in Beit Lahia, the Jabalya refugee camp and several districts within Gaza City in the northern part of the Strip.
Several armored vehicles and soldiers of the IDF can be seen being hit by rocket-propelled grenades, explosive devices and sniper fire in the videos.
In recent weeks, the IDF expanded its ground operations in northern Gaza, from Jabalia to the nearby town of Beit Lahia and Gaza City, killing more than a thousand Palestinian and displacing tens of thousands others.
The latest deaths brought Israel’s toll in the ground operations against Hamas and other Palestinian armed factions in Gaza and along its border to 380. More than 2,400 others have been reportedly wounded. In addition, over 500 vehicles were hit in the Strip, according to Hebrew media. A helicopter also crashed.
On the Palestinian side, the death toll from the Israeli war on Gaza has exceeded 43,900, with women and children making up most of the casualties.
Despite taking more losses and failing to achieve any of its declared objectives, Israel appears to be determined to go on with its war on Gaza.

three here five there u s w is better than zip but hundreds in bodybags is ideal if the intend to drive the hews into the sea! from the river to the sea! keep it up hamas, hezbollah, iraqi resistance and houthis and lynchpin iran! the jews are circling the drain!
daniella weiss and the motely crew of settler scum are waiting to move in on gaza. the problem is, the jews seem to really enjoy living in an eternal crisis. i highly doubt jews will be happy even if tomorrow they capture all of palestine. they are a miserable and broken tribe. they will simply turn on each other.
eternal crisis is the way wicked minds works and is the basis of western civilization. the dichotomy between the two antagonist polarities in christianity to create the human cattle. israel just wanted everybody else dead, and the supreme hegemon shared their view, and that’s why they settled israel there in the first place. the age of conflicts and wars are just started, at least it’s expected to have two decades war in every front, domain, layer between world powers, mostly disguised.
israel is an extension of the ussa. biden said in some speech from the 1980s that the united states will need to invent an israel if it didn’t exist, to justify its interests in the region. most jews are also pawns, and they do not even know it. the haredi extremists and their christian zionists allies are the ones who are rubbing their hands in glee at armageddon. that’s how scum those ppl are, they need end times to feel good about themselves
i think you’re confusing the monkey and the organ grinder. in the us, if you want a job as a teacher or anything else, if you are a hurricane victim applying for the meagre assistance available, you have to sign a loyalty oath – to israel, not the usa. nutteryahoo gets 50 standing ovations from the goy whores in congress every time he so much as breaks wind.
that does not hold true in all states. most, yes. my state threw their little law out, our state court ruled it illegal. trump judge reversed our state court. they tried that in texas too, a real zionist shithole, but was thrown out as well. that was for gov aid after a flood. it was only public outcry that stopped them.
guy once asked me if obama was the anti-christ. i said no, he was a wanna be. the real deceiver? the one who fools people the most. the one who says what they want to hear. the one who starts the ‘last war’ while calling for peace. his followers all wear the same ‘brand’. even native americans have prophesy about the man with the red hat. he has proven to be as deceptive as advertised.
genetic narcissism… genetic satanism… jesus called it, been right ever since…
the charming daniells can be sure of a warm welcome and some real palestininan hospitality in gaza.
by this way, israel will lose all their military forces by year 159950695594939399 from gregorian calendar, the same year jen holms will became the only living intelligent he/she guy on planet earth.
smoke those suckers. send every zio kiddie killer down to hell where they belong. every one of the zio filth needs to know they are living under the barrel of a gun. there are two types of shlomo in gaza – those who are dead and those who are going to die.
the more dead zionist pigs the safer the world becomes!
“failing to achieve any of its declared objectives”? i’d say the lack of coordination, lack of clear objectives, and lack of an effective plan of campaign of the arab side is leading to the opposite.
3… really? only 3? well over 200k murdered civilians… no one seems to be reporting honest casualty numbers from the west… no one.
