Tehran, IRNA – The Zionist regime’s military has announced that 514 of its soldiers have been killed since the beginning of the Palestinian resistance movements’ Operation Al-Aqsa Storm in early October.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the Israeli military said 514 soldiers have been killed since October 7, 2023, including 180 since the beginning of the regime’s ground offensive against Gaza.

It said 1,042 soldiers have been also injured, including 228 who are in critical condition.

It also announced four new deaths among its forces and six serious injuries in the ground invasion of Gaza.

The Israeli military observes strict control on the publication of the number of its casualties in an attempt to hide its massive losses against the Gaza-based resistance fighters.

The Zionist regime launched the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after Palestinian resistance movements carried out a surprise operation into the occupied territories in retaliation for the occupying entity’s intensified violence against the Palestinian people.

So far, at least 23,084 people, including more than 9,600 children and 6,750 women, have been killed in Gaza, while more than 58,926 people have been injured.
