The Israeli army announced on Sunday that a brigade commander was killed in a battle in the northern Gaza Strip and an officer was seriously wounded.

The Israeli army said in a statement that Colonel Ihsan Daqsa, 41 years old from Daliyat al-Carmel and commander of the 401st Brigade in the 162nd Division, was killed in a battle in the northern Gaza Strip, noting that an officer from the same brigade was seriously wounded in the same battle.

According to Israeli media, Daqsa was killed by an explosive device that was activated on the tank he was riding in Jabalia, which has been facing for days a fierce Israeli attack that led to the death of dozens and the injury of hundreds of Palestinians.

Daksa assumed this position 3 months ago. The Israeli army is trying to force the Palestinians in Jabalia to evacuate their homes and head to the Al-Mawasi area.

Israeli military analysts say that the Israeli army is working to implement the generals' plan, which stipulates the evacuation of all Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip from their homes.

In recent days, the Israeli army has intensified its attacks on the Jabalia area to force the Palestinians to leave.

The Israeli army says that 749 soldiers have been killed since the beginning of the war, including 356 in ground battles inside the Gaza Strip, noting that 4,995 soldiers have been injured since the beginning of the war, including 2,356 in ground battles in the Gaza Strip.
