The Israeli occupation army admitted on Wednesday to the death of an officer and two soldiers, as well as the injury of others with serious wounds, in battles in the northern and southern parts of the Gaza Strip.

According to information circulated by Twitter users, citing Israeli accounts and media, the officer, Yuval Neir (43 years old), was a fighter in the 6646 Patrol Battalion, part of the Shauli Marom Formation (646).

He and his family, consisting of five members, reside in the settlement of ‘Kfar Etzion’ north of the city of Hebron for living and stability.

As mentioned, the officer Yuval Neir entered Khan Yunis with a brigade to replace another brigade, with aspirations to occupy Gaza and re-establish the settlement of ‘Gush Katif’ on the ruins of Palestinian children and women, similar to what his ancestors did in ‘Kfar Etzion.’

Officer Yuval Neir told his wife that he would not leave Khan Yunis until he took a picture with the body of Yahya al-Sinwar.

Reports indicate that Officer Yuval Neir told his wife that he would not leave Khan Yunis until he took a picture with the body of Yahya al-Sinwar. However, he was killed by Palestinian resistance forces in the battles in Khan Yunis without achieving his goal.

With the death of the officer and the two soldiers, the total number of casualties in the Israeli army since the start of the aggression on Gaza has risen to 560, according to official announcements by the army. Analysts and observers assert that the army does not disclose the true toll of its killed and wounded during the battles with the resistance in the Gaza Strip.
