On Wednesday, November 1, an Israeli army spokesperson announced the continuation of ground operations in the Gaza Strip, stating that since the beginning of the war against Hamas, the Israeli army has attacked over 11,000 targets identified as 'terrorist organizations.' Meanwhile, Israeli media reported the deaths of at least 12 soldiers during ground operations in Gaza over the past two days. Since Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, more than 320 Israeli soldiers have been killed. Following the Hamas attack on October 7, over 1,400 people have died, most of whom were civilians. Daniel Hagari, the Israeli army spokesperson, wrote on social media platform X that Israeli forces attacked many 'terrorist targets throughout the Gaza Strip, including operational headquarters and units of Hamas terrorists' on Tuesday night. Earlier, the Israeli army had announced that it killed a Hamas commander in an attack on the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza on Tuesday, who was reportedly involved in the October 7 attack on Israel. Reports indicate that the Israeli attack on this camp resulted in at least 50 deaths and 150 injuries. Several countries have condemned this attack. Hamas officials, who control Gaza, claim that over 8,300 people have been killed due to Israeli attacks, most of whom are civilians. News agencies have stated that they cannot verify these figures. In contrast, Israel claims its attacks target Hamas and accuses the group of using civilians as human shields. In a report by Arash Sigarachi on the latest situation of tensions between Israel and Hamas and the improvement of aid conditions in Gaza, the Israeli army spokesperson stated: 'In the battle against Hamas, we are also mindful of Israeli civilians as well as ordinary people in Gaza.' Secretary of State Blinken called for an increase in humanitarian aid for Gaza's civilians, and the White House stated that Israel is trying to reduce civilian casualties.
