Today, Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue the war until achieving all its goals, repeating his pledge to “defeat Hamas”, liberate all Israeli prisoners, and ensure “Gaza not to pose a threat to Israel anymore.”
“The price that the Israelis pay in this war is exorbitant, but it is necessary,” Netanyahu said in a post on the “X” platform, hours after the killing of 3 Israeli soldiers.
He added: “I say to the families of the dead: Your children have not fallen in vain, but in a fair war that is unparalleled. We will progress at a deliberate pace, and we seek to reduce our losses as much as possible, but there are no wars without price.”
The Israeli army had announced earlier in the day that 3 soldiers were killed and two were wounded, after the Hummer military vehicle targeted an explosive device in the northern Gaza Strip, specifically in the town of Jabalia.
The occupation army reported that the soldiers were serving within the ninth brigade “Ghatati”, which was incurring repeated losses in the land battles in the Strip.
Thus, the number of dead Israeli soldiers rises to 861, including 419 in land operations since the start of the ground invasion on October 27, 2023, according to official data from the army.
The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation stated that the accident occurred during the return of the military convoy from Jabalia towards Israel, where it entered the field of mine or explosive devices in advance, which led to the explosion.
Israel has continued its military aggression against the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, in one of the most bloody and bloody wars in modern history against a densely populated area.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the death toll rose to more than 179,000 Palestinians between a martyr and a wounded, most of them children and women, in addition to more than 11 thousand missing under the rubble, amid a mass destruction of infrastructure, and a complete collapse of the health system.
It is estimated that more than 1.7 million Palestinians were forcibly displaced from their homes in catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
