Israeli Occupation Faces Significant Losses in Gaza Battles: Names of Fallen Officers Disclosed

Watan-The Hebrew website “Walla” revealed on Monday, October 4th, the approval of the Israeli occupation leadership to disclose the names of three Israeli officers who fell in the battles in the Gaza Strip, as part of the significant losses that Israel is facing at the hands of Palestinian resistance factions.

With this disclosure, the number of Israeli occupation casualties since the beginning of the war rises to 401. According to reports from the battlefield, a soldier from Battalion 601 in Brigade 401 was seriously wounded in the battles in the northern Gaza Strip.

The casualties include Brigadier Reserve Neriah Sha’ar (36 years old) from Battalion 6655 in Brigade 55, and Brigadier Reserve Ben Zosman (22 years old) from the Patrols Department of Battalion 601 in Brigade 401.

In addition, Sergeant Benjamin Yehoshua Nedham (19 years old), a fighter in Battalion 601 in Brigade 401, was also killed, as confirmed by the Hebrew website among the 400 casualties. However, the resistance asserts that the losses of the occupation are much higher.
