GAZA TRACK – The Israeli military claims to have killed more than 2,000 Palestinian fighters in an operation in the town of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) RDML spokesperson Daniel Hagari claimed this on Monday (29/1/2024).

The Israeli military claims around 9,000 Hamas fighters have been eliminated in the three months since Israel’s invasion of the Gaza Strip. Various estimates put the total number of Hamas forces at between 30,000 and 40,000 fighters.

On October 7, 2023, the Hamas movement that controls the Gaza Strip launched a large-scale rocket attack against Israel and violated the border.

As a result, more than 1,200 people in Israel were killed and around 240 others were kidnapped. Israeli media then reported that many Israeli citizens had been killed by the Zionist military itself.

Israel launched brutal attacks that killed more than 26,600 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to local authorities.

On November 24, Qatar brokered an agreement between Israel and Hamas regarding a temporary humanitarian pause and exchange of some prisoners and hostages, as well as the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

The ceasefire has been extended several times and ended on December 1. More than 100 hostages are believed to still be held by Hamas in Gaza.

A number of negotiation offers have failed to agree on a new ceasefire to date. Israel continues to carry out brutal massacres of Palestinians in Gaza even though the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered the Zionist regime to prevent genocide.

GAZA TRACK – Israeli soldiers executed a 13-year-old boy, Nahed Barbakh, in Khan Younis when he left his house carrying a white flag.

His brother Ramiz (20) rushed to save him and was also shot dead by Israeli forces.

This marked one of several similar tragedies in which Israel killed many Palestinian civilians holding white flags.

The actions of the Zionist colonial army constitute a war crime according to international law.

Meanwhile, Nasser Hospital, the main medical facility in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, has run out of food, anesthetics and painkillers as a result of the fifth day of the Israeli siege, according to a spokesperson for the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.

“There are 150 health workers, 350 patients and hundreds of displaced families at the Nasser Medical Complex in conditions of famine, targeting and lack of treatment,” said Dr Ashraf al-Qudra.

“Nasser Hospital is functioning with only 10% of its personnel and the conditions are inhumane,” the Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Thursday.

On the other hand, groups opposing the war in Israel began to emerge. It is still too early to say whether the loss of 21 Israeli soldiers in one day at the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza will be a watershed moment in the war in Gaza.

TEL AVIV – Israeli Prime Minister (PM) Benjamin Netanyahu was furious that 24 of his soldiers were killed in one day in Gaza. He promised on Tuesday (23/1/2024) to take revenge against Palestinian fighters.

This is the highest death toll for the Israeli colonial army (IDF) in a single day since their war against Hamas began in October.

The IDF said on Tuesday that 21 of its members were killed near Khan Younis a day earlier, when Hamas fighters fired anti-tank missiles at them.

The resulting explosion triggered further explosions that caused the collapse of two buildings while many Israeli soldiers were inside or nearby.

“Following the explosion, commanders operating on the ground, together with rescue teams who arrived at the scene, have carried out a very complex operation to evacuate victims and locate the injured,” said the IDF statement.

Israeli officials did not provide details about the other three IDF deaths on Monday.

Netanyahu called Monday “one of the most difficult days since the outbreak of the war.” He said, “The IDF is investigating the incident to learn the necessary lessons and is doing everything to save the lives of our fighters.”

“In the name of our heroes, in the name of our lives, we will not stop fighting until absolute victory,” Netanyahu said.

Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza and Demands for Prisoner Release: Gaza Track and Recent Developments

GAZA TRACK – More than 100 Israeli military commanders and officers demanded not to withdraw from the northern Gaza Strip until all prisoners held by the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas are freed.

The demands were made in a letter signed by 130 members of the army addressed to the war cabinet and Israeli military Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, according to Israeli media reports.

“The letter discusses the two main objectives of the Israeli forces (IDF) in this war: the complete destruction of Hamas and the successful release of all hostages,” said the Jerusalem Post report.

The report focuses on recent developments, including the withdrawal of certain brigades from the enclave. The report also questions whether “the goals we want to achieve” have been achieved.

Failure to Achieve Extraordinary Victory

Last week, the Israeli army withdrew the 36th Division from northern Gaza to rest and train, while the other three divisions remained in the Palestinian territories.

Previously, Israel also withdrew the Golani Brigade after 60 days of fighting, reportedly suffering heavy losses.

The report further stated, “The soldiers answered their own question by saying the IDF and the Israeli government failed to turn the many small victories achieved around the Gaza Strip into overwhelming systematic and strategic victories.”

The report continued, “Officials argued: Quite simply, the achievements to date are significant but not enough to truly say ‘mission accomplished.’”

TEL AVIV – The Israeli military on Friday (19/1/2024) announced the death of a soldier and three other soldiers seriously injured during ground fighting with the Palestinian Resistance in the Gaza Strip.

“Sergeant Uri Gerbi (20) of the Givati Brigade died as a result of serious wounds he suffered in fighting in the southern part of the Gaza Strip on Wednesday,” said an Israeli military statement.

“Three soldiers were seriously injured in fighting in the central and northern parts of the Gaza Strip,” they said.

The Israeli military did not provide additional details about the fighting that led to Gerbi’s death or the three soldiers’ injuries.

According to the latest official toll, the number of Israeli officers and soldiers killed since the start of the war reached 530, including 194 since the start of the ground war in Gaza.

But the Palestinian Resistance group says the number is much higher. On Thursday alone, the Al-Qassam Brigades announced the killing and wounding of more than 40 Israeli soldiers on various battle fronts.

Abu Ubaidah, military spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas, said the estimates given by Israeli forces were “not real,” and the number of casualties was much higher.

On January 12, Israeli newspaper Walla reported 4,000 Israeli soldiers had been disabled since the start of the war in Gaza on October 7 and estimates suggested the number could rise to 30,000.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres Expresses Concern over Israel-Lebanon Tensions: Calls for Ceasefire in Gaza

NEW YORK – UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Monday (15/1/2024) was concerned about the ongoing tensions between Israel and Lebanon. He said another conflict like Gaza should not happen in Lebanon.

“We cannot see in Lebanon what we see in Gaza. And we cannot allow what is happening in Gaza to continue,” Guterres said at a press conference at UN headquarters, reported by Anadolu.

The UN chief said tens of thousands of people in northern Israel and southern Lebanon had been displaced by the fighting and humanitarian access in Lebanon continued to be hampered.

“Stop playing with fire on the Blue Line, de-escalate and end hostilities in accordance with Security Council Resolution 1701,” he stressed.

Tensions have risen along Lebanon’s border with Israel since the Israeli army launched a deadly military offensive in the Gaza Strip following a Hamas attack on October 7.

Recent cross-border firefights between Hezbollah and Israeli forces were the deadliest clashes since the two sides fought a full-scale war in 2006.

The UN Secretary General also repeated his call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

“The Israeli troop attacks on Gaza over the past 100 days have caused massive destruction and killings of civilians at a level that has never been seen before during my time as Secretary General,” he said.

Emphasizing that most of those killed were women and children, Guterres said, “Nothing can justify collective punishment against the Palestinian people.”
