The Israeli military on Tuesday suffered one of its highest single-day casualty counts since Israel began its ground invasion of Gaza in late October: Ten soldiers were killed in combat in the north of the enclave, the military said.
Israeli military radio reported that nine of the soldiers had been killed in heavy fighting in Shajaiye, a neighborhood in Gaza City that has been a focus of combat in recent days as the military pushes to root out Hamas fighters from the enclave.
The military said that the soldiers had been killed during an “advanced stage of our efforts to clear the area of Hamas.” It said they had died while trying to rescue injured soldiers who had lost contact with their unit after coming under fire in a building the military described as residential with a tunnel opening on its premises.
Although Israel has extended its ground invasion into southern Gaza this month, heavy fighting is ongoing in northern Gaza. Since the Hamas-led Oct. 7 assault on southern Israel, which Israeli officials say killed 1,200 people, 444 Israeli soldiers have lost their lives, according to the country’s military. About a quarter of those casualties have occurred since Israel started its ground invasion, the military said.
At the same time, over 15,000 Palestinians, many of them women and children, have died amid Israel’s retaliatory military campaign, according to the Gazan health ministry. Gazan health officials do not distinguish between civilians and Hamas fighters in their death tolls.

It is sad to see the immense death on both sides, but It is also sad to see people supporting the eradication of israel, especially on social media platforms.
@9HMH3CK5mos5MO
I think it is absolutely heartbreaking to hear about.
@9HMGJ4VRepublican5mos5MO
Kids arent as informed as they should be on this topic. Should see both sides.
@9HMDYVSRepublican5mos5MO
we need to keep in touch with israeli
@9HMDX4Y5mos5MO
the fact that the US is supporting an apartheid country that kills journalists and innocent civilians is so typical for the largest military complex in the world.
@9HMDJF55mos5MO
the war is sad and so many innocent people were killed, it’s sad to see that it is still happeninh
@9HMCKG35mos5MO
Sucks, we are all people. Why can't we just get along.

@9HMBSXT5mos5MO
Free Palestine and give Palestine back their land.
@9HMBLM95mos5MO
they have a high death toll in the military but Palestine has a higher death toll with innocent civilians.
@9HMBL2W5mos5MO
I believe we should step in more and provide more aid and military power to the Israeli people.
@9HM9TJW5mos5MO
i think its important to know what is going on in the world but i also think about what the united states is doing is more important because its our country
@9HM9C9P5mos5MO
The israeli army has a hard task to rid of the terrorist organization, hamas, of their country.
@9HM9B945mos5MO
I think that is sad and people and countries need to get along better
@9HM8XSD5mos5MO
I feel very sad about it because wars are unnecessary and all they do is cause pain and suffering for both sides
@9HM8JNKIndependent5mos5MO
War is dumb, I wish it could be settled by talking. But unfortunately, that is not the case ever.
@9HM7ZFV5mos5MO
Considero que se está acometiendo una atrocidad en la Franja de Gaza, tanto de unos como de otros, y que se están saltando el DIP por los cojones. Aun asi, condeno el ataque de Hammas pero eso no justifica que Israel asole a civiles.
@9HM82WS5mos5MO
Israeli troops are fighting for what is right. The country cannot continue to have to look over its shoulder at thugs that want to kill them in any way. Jewish people have rights too.
@9HM5ZR35mos5MO
Hamas is evil, Israel has every right to take them out and defend themselves from a terrorist organization that wants to wipe them out.
@9HM4W9Y5mos5MO
Hamas needs to be dealt with soon to avoid further casualties.
@9HM4NKG5mos5MO
Free Palestine. Stop bombing innocent people.
