Gaza-based Palestinian resistance launched their biggest operation against Israel in years on Saturday morning, in a surprise offensive that combined fighters crossing the fence into the Israeli-occupied territories with a heavy barrage of rockets and drone attacks from the Gaza Strip.
Al Jazeera reported that some 1,100 settlers were also injured inside the occupied territories.
The Israeli military announced that the commanding officer of the Nahal Infantry Brigade, Col. Jonathan Steinberg, was killed on Saturday in the Kerem Shalom area near the border with the Gaza Strip.
Israeli media reported on Sunday that about 100 Israeli forces were captured in Operation Al-Aqsa Storm.
Meanwhile, the Hamas resistance movement said the number of Zionists taken captive in the ongoing operation is far more than the “dozens” claimed by the regime’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Today, you talked about dozens of prisoners and we reassure you, Netanyahu, that your prisoners are many times more than this number, and you must keep track of your soldiers well,” said Abu Ubaida, the spokesman for the Gaza Strip-based movement's military wing, al-Qassam Brigades.
“These prisoners are present in all areas [of Gaza], and everything that happens to our people in the Gaza Strip is happening to them,” the spokesman added.
