Three Israeli soldiers were killed during fighting in the Gaza Strip on May 22, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced.
Two of the slain soldiers were from the Kfir Brigade’s Netzah Yehuda Battalion, while the third was serving in the ranks of the Combat Engineering Corps’ elite Yahalom unit.
The Yehuda Battalion soldiers were killed in a Hamas sniper attack in the city of Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, the IDF said, adding that another soldier from the same unit was seriously wounded in the incident. Video footage of the attack was released by Hamas’ military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.
Meanwhile, the Yahalom unit soldier was killed by an explosive device in a building in northern Gaza. The IDF said another soldier of the Netzah Yehuda Battalion and a Yahalom reservist were also seriously wounded in the same blast.
Their deaths brought the toll of slain Israeli troops in the IDF’s ground operations in Gaza and along the border to 286. A civilian Defense Ministry contractor has also been killed in the Strip. More than 1,500 others have been wounded in the operations so far.
Recent clashes in northern Gaza were not limited to Beit Hanoun. The al-Quds Brigade, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, released footage showing a mortar attack on gatherings of the IDF on Mount al-Kachif to the east of the Jabaliya refugee camp.
And in the southern part of the Strip, there were reports of additional advance by Israeli troops. The IDF said that it had deployed an additional battalion to the area of Rafah, as it began ground operating in the city’s Brazil and Shaboura neighborhoods, following “information on terror targets in the area.”
The Nahal Brigade joined the 162nd Division which has been operating in Rafah since earlier this month. Nahal was the fifth IDF brigade to be operating in the city in southern Gaza, after the 401st, Givati, Commando and Negev brigades.
The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades and al-Quds Brigades released videos showing attacks on vehicles of the IDF in Rafah’s Brazil neighborhood and Salah al-Din Gate as well as a Skylark reconnaissance drone that was shot down over the area.
It’s worth noting that the Israeli war on Gaza has so far claimed the lives of 35,709 Palestinians and left nearly 80,000 others wounded, according to the latest update by the Hamas-run health ministry in the Strip. Most of the victims were women and children.
In addition to the high number of casualties, the Israeli war has pushed 85% of Gaza’s population into internal displacement amid acute shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, while 60% of the Strip’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the United Nations.

my potato died on wikipedia
and two potatoes died in the first video, with one bullet :)
cool reminder of the “one bullet two kills” tshirt (with in image of a pregnant mother in the crosshairs) that the genociders liked to wear.
so called israel is facing an uphill task in strip. without the help of uncle sam and the pretend to be 3 lions, they would be doom by now. props to hamas.
somehow never enough!
and old dementia’s idea that the two state solution must be negotiated and not unilaterally achieved is just hogwash from an addled brain, since the negotiations on the two state solution has been ongoing for 75 years during which the jews stole more or less the entire palestine! thus it’s known that the negotiated solution will be a failure 75 years on!
palestine is occuppied because western governments, banks and msm are occuppied. remember the balfour declaration in 1917 was adressed to lord rothschild.
arthur balfour was actually antisemitic. he wanted the european jews to migrate out of europe to the levant hence his pandering to the zionists who had the same objective.
yet, the israhelli regime can never admit to the actual number of thousands of their troops killed due to it being an issue of “national security”!!!
karma is such a beautiful thing to see in action as the gallant palestinian freedom fighters dispatch the colonial khazar squatting rodents to hell. onward to palestine free of monsters and restored to the semitic people of palestine once and for all. meanwhile build a wall around montana for the hollow co$ters “return” to the land of their “fathers”. nobody else will want the surviving enablers of nutnyahoo’s genocide when palestine is finally cured of this evil zionazi disease.
look up, “the sultan who saved 250,000 jews from natzis, sultan mohammed the 5th of morocco.
goes to say no good deed goes unpunished. palestinians also welcomed massive amounts of jewish refugees during the german genocide, only to see those refugees stab them in the back and create their colonial enterprise and commit their own genocide in the land that gave them shelter
hmm……….
yehudi’s going down like dominoes
so many people die for stupid ideas and stupid rulers…
good shootin’! drop that one guy like a rock.
what was that idf t-shirt saying again “one shot, two kills” about murdering a pregnant palestinian woman?
note that after the first jew dropped his friend ran off! this seems to be a habit with israeli jew’s the others then dropped like tin cans i’m thinking a 50 cal was used very good shooting keep it up
maybe, it can be, though.
woukd you not run for cover when your mates suddenly start falling around you?. the idf seem to lack any battlefield instinct. poor army. the ukrainians who are no match for the russians would absolutely decimate the idf.
fuck allah with its mortal dead walking jihadist
tally me banana! coconut, two fo one, two fo one!
“the most oppressed people on the earth”
– jimmy carter
the situation is now at the point where algeria once was… and the french people asked if continuing the colonialism would at their own hands, end their idea of french values.
always good to see ziopigs getting bullets up their a-holes… and that two for one is a cracker!
just love how zio nazi terrorist pigs fall and roll over…. squeak squeak…oink oink
good to see more mass murdering psychopaths being stopped from continuing their genocide. hard to believe that such evil exists on the planet and even harder to realize that the so called western democracies are all under their control.
