The Israeli army on Monday Gaza 600 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza during the six-month Israeli offensive. Palestinians have been killed by groups.
It should be noted that this is the highest number of soldiers killed in any Israeli war that Israel has suffered in Gaza and the offensive is still ongoing.
According to Al Jazeera TV, the latest military death is 20-year-old Nadav Chohan, after which the Israeli army has revealed the number of its casualties at 600, but the Israeli army has not revealed the number of its wounded.
On the other hand, Israeli forces have ended a two-week operation in and around Gaza’s largest hospital, the al-Shafa complex, and have withdrawn from the area, but the Israeli prime minister will enter Rafah despite US opposition.
According to the French news agency AFP, the Israeli army has said that the “soldiers have completed operational activities in the area of Al-Shafa Hospital and have left the area of the hospital.”
Gaza’s Ministry of Health also said on Monday that the Israeli army has withdrawn tanks and vehicles from the complex of Al-Shafa Central Hospital.
Dozens of bodies were found in the complex, where an AFP journalist and eyewitnesses saw tanks and vehicles exiting the complex, the ministry said.
Dozens of airstrikes and shells fell on the area around the complex, witnesses said.
According to local state media, Israeli airstrikes provided cover for the vehicles to withdraw.
The Israeli military launched the operation on March 18 and alleged at the time that Hamas militants were operating from the complex. Hamas has denied using al-Shafa and other health centers as shields.
“Dozens of dead bodies, some of them decomposed, have been recovered from inside and around the Al-Shafa Medical Complex,” the health ministry said in a statement.
“The Israeli army burned the buildings of al-Shafa Medical Complex before leaving, leaving them completely unusable,” the statement said. There is a lot of destruction inside the complex and surrounding buildings.’
An AFP journalist at the scene said that several buildings inside the complex were damaged, with some parts damaged by fire.
A doctor told AFP that more than 20 bodies had been recovered and some had been crushed by reversing vehicles.
Before the operation, hundreds of people displaced by the war had taken refuge in the Al-Shafa complex.
On the other hand, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has said that Israel will overcome the pressure and enter Rafah despite the opposition of US President Joe Biden.
He added that the operation against Hamas in Rafah will not be stopped for any reason. Military pressure and flexibility in negotiations will lead to the release of prisoners. Netanyahu announced that Israeli forces had killed more than 200 gunmen at al-Shafa hospital in Gaza.
Israeli officials have also been expressing their commitment to a military operation in Rafah while Israel and Hamas are resuming prisoner exchange talks.
According to Israeli media, senior Israeli officials, including Defense Minister Yves Gallant and Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, have already discussed plans for a ground operation in Rafah with US officials.
Observers say that the US is not opposed to the military operation in Rafah, but it only has reservations about the method of the operation. He just wants to prevent more civilian deaths during the fighting.
