Israeli army announces deaths of three soldiers
In a statement, the army said that the soldiers’ ranks were major, captain and sergeant.
It also said that two soldiers were “seriously injured”, one of them in an “operational accident” on Israel’s northern border.
Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah, all currently in daily combat engagements with Israeli forces, routinely claim attacks that they say kill Israeli army soldiers, sometimes multiple times per day. The Israeli army, however, announces only few deaths from among its ranks.
It would make sense regular soldiers get killed as well, or Hamas etc are very good at targeting those in command.

Doctor recounts being displaced from al-Awda Hospital in Jabalia
In video obtained by Al Jazeera, a doctor recalls being displaced from the al-Awda Hospital in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, which Israeli troops besieged four days ago.
“We were inside the hospital and did not think about leaving it and leaving the wounded and sick, but we were surprised four days ago that the Israeli army surrounded the hospital and prevented movement to and from it, and we congregated inside the corridors of the hospital to preserve the lives of patients,” one unidentified doctor said in the footage.
“The Israeli army forced us today at three o’clock in the afternoon to leave the hospital, and a number of patients and two doctors, including the director of the hospital, and some assistants remained. But all medical staff, men and women, were asked by the Israeli army to flee to areas west of Gaza City,” he added.
“We are now looking to save the medical staff who continued to stay in the hospital and have not left since last October 7.”
