Khan Younis, March 3 (RHC)-- The Israeli military has announced the death of three more of its forces amid the regime's ongoing genocidal war against the Gaza Strip, during which it has lost hundreds of its troops.  The military announced the fatalities on Saturday in a statement reported by The Times of Israel.

The deaths were caused after the forces raided a booby-trapped building in the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.  As many as 14 other troops were also wounded during the incident, six of them seriously, the military added.

"The troops had raided a two-story structure that was booby-trapped with explosive devices both inside and outside the building," the daily said, citing an Israeli military investigation.  According to the paper, the deaths took the number of the regime's fatalities "to 245."

On Friday, however, Ynetnews, the website for Yediot Ahronot, another Israeli daily, had reported that approximately "582 troops" had been killed in the war.  "Several more are physically and psychologically wounded, to the extent that they are unable to return to their roles," it had added.

Gaza's resistance groups have repeatedly said that the regime gravely underreports the number of its fatalities as means of hiding its wartime losses and buoying the morale of its forces.

Months into Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, the regime’s military is reportedly facing a critical manpower problem, and runs short of thousands of forces.

Israel launched the war on October 7 after al-Aqsa Storm, a surprise operation by Gaza's resistance groups, during which hundreds were taken captive.

Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed 30,320 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 71,533 others.

Despite causing a massive the death toll and suffering the fatalities, the Israeli military has stopped short of achieving the goals that it has been seeking to score through the war, such as “destroying” Hamas, finding the captives that the Gaza-based resistance movement is holding, and bringing about forced displacement of the Palestinian territory’s population to neighboring Egypt.
