The spokesperson for the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF), Daniyel Hagari, stated that they have lost many of their best soldiers in the war in the Gaza Strip.

Haqari added during a press conference on Thursday that the Israeli army is determined to dismantle and eliminate the Hamas movement, stating that “the road ahead is long.”

He further confirmed the death of two soldiers in the battles in Gaza, one in Jabalia and the other in Khan Yunis. "We are on high alert in the north, and we will respond to every operation. We will respond to Hezbollah, and we will respond to any threat from there," Haqari stated.
