GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – The Israeli army on Tuesday said four more soldiers were killed in fighting with Palestinian groups in southern and central Gaza Strip.
Six others were seriously wounded in the battles, the military said in a statement cited by the Times of Israel news website.
As many as 180 Israeli soldiers have been killed in the besieged enclave since the start of the ground operation on Oct. 27.
Israel has killed at least 23,084 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in the Gaza Strip since an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7, according to local health authorities.
About 85% of Gazans have been displaced, all of them food insecure, according to the UN. Hundreds of thousands of people are living without shelter.
