Palestinian media outlets have reported the death of journalist Ibrahim Muhareb, whose body was found near Hamad City in the northwest of Khan Yunis.

Reports revealed that Muhareb had been missing since Sunday when Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) targeted a group of journalists in Hamad City.

The Israeli Occupation's assault on Gaza has now entered its 318th consecutive day, marked by brutal massacres, forced displacement of Palestinians, and a worsening blockade that has exacerbated the suffering of the local population.

Operation Aqsa Typhoon

On October 7, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas," launched Operation Aqsa Typhoon in response to Israeli Occupation violations in the occupied Palestinian territories.

In retaliation, the Israeli Occupation launched a military operation against Gaza named "Operation Iron Swords," conducting a series of intense airstrikes across various parts of the Gaza Strip. These airstrikes have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians, thousands of injuries, and the destruction of numerous buildings, residential towers, institutions, and infrastructure.

Casualties Among Israeli Occupation Forces

The death toll among IOF has risen to 691 since October 7, with 331 of these casualties occurring since the start of the ground operation on October 27, according to Israeli sources.

Additionally, the military reports that 4,333 soldiers have been injured since the beginning of the assault on Gaza, including 2,599 with minor injuries, 1,091 with moderate injuries, and 643 with critical injuries.
