Ihsan Ataya, a senior member of the political bureau of Islamic Jihad, told Palestinian media that the Israeli regime is "in shock" after two dozens of its soldiers were killed in battle against Palestinian resistance fighters.
The casualty was by far the biggest single-day death toll among Israeli soldiers since the occupying regime launched the genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on October 7.
The battle came amid fierce fighting around the key southern city of Khan Younis, which has been under relentless Israeli attacks over the past several days.
“From the first day of the Israeli regime's army attack on the Gaza Strip, there has been complete coordination among the Palestinian resistance forces to confront the Zionist occupiers,” Ataya said.
“We know that unity on the battlefield is a fundamental pillar for victory against this regime,” he added.
