Israeli army: Officer and 3 soldiers killed in Gaza Strip battles
The Israeli army revealed the killing of 4 soldiers, including an officer, in Jabalia, north of the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to a campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing for about a month.
The Israeli military said that Officer Yehonatan Johnny Keren, 22, and Sergeants Nissim Meital, 20, Aviv Gilboa, 21, and Naor Haimov, 22, all from Unit 888, were killed in a battle in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army said in a statement that an officer from the same unit was also seriously injured in the same battle.
Israeli media quoted the army as confirming that the four soldiers were killed as a result of an explosive device exploding inside a building in Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip.
All of the dead and wounded belonged to a commando unit, known as the "Multi-Dimensional Unit", or the "Ghost Unit", an elite unit in the Israeli army that operates in difficult environments and on all battlefronts.
According to Israeli army data, the number of soldiers killed since the beginning of the war on October 7, 2023 has risen to 776, including 365 in the ground battles that began on the 27th of the same month.
