ISTANBUL (AA) — Another Israeli soldier has died in the Gaza Strip, according to the country’s army on Sunday.
Shimon Yehoshua Asulin, 24, from the 924th engineering battalion of the Southern Command’s Harel Brigade, died in the south of the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army said in a statement.
With the latest death, the number of soldiers killed since Oct. 7 has increased to 562, including 225 who have died since the start of the ground operation on Oct. 27.
Israel launched a deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7 that has killed at least 27,238 Palestinians and injured 66,452 following a surprise attack by Hamas. Nearly 1,140 Israelis are believed to have died in the Hamas attack.
The Israeli offensive has left 85% of Gaza’s population internally displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, while 60% of the enclave’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.
