Gaza (Araweelo News Network) Palestinian resistance fighters say they have captured an Israeli soldier during Tel Aviv’s ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, as the Israeli regime
continues its offensive in the blockaded enclave.
On Sunday, the Ezzeddin al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, said the name of the captured soldier is Shaul Aron.
The Israeli regime has not confirmed the capture of the soldier yet.
Referring to the silence of Israel over the report, Abu Ubaida, a spokesman for the military wing of Hamas, said, “The fact that they did not announce (the loss of the soldier) shows that they were trying to hide their losses.”
The news of capturing the Israeli soldier sparked celebrations in Gaza.
Al-Qassam Brigades says Palestinian resistance fighters have killed at least 32 Israeli soldiers since Saturday.
According to figures provided by emergency services, the total number of Palestinians killed since the beginning of the Israeli operation on July 8 stands at 437. More than 3,000 people have also been injured in Israel’s unrelenting aerial and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip.
Sources say more than half of the victims are women and children.
On Saturday, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) expressed “deep concern” over the death of children killed in the Israeli offensives against Gaza.
