Halevi: What Happened at The “Golani Base” Was Difficult, Painful

The Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, described during his visit to the “Golani military base near Binyamina that what happened there after it was hit by a drone was “difficult” and with “painful” results.

“We are in a state of war, and attacking a training base deep inside is difficult and the results are painful,” he said.

Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom stated, Monday, 52 Israeli soldiers from the “Golani” Brigade are still in the hospital, and the condition of a number of them is critical, as a result of  Hezbollah targeting of the military base south of Haifa.

The Israeli army acknowledged the killing of at least four soldiers but the occupation is deliberately covering up its losses and which has become usual in this year-long war and counting.

Israel Hayom quoted the “Red Star of David” as saying stating that there were 67 wounded in the attack.

An initial investigation by Israel’s occupation army revealed that a Hezbollah drone targeted a training Golani Brigade base in a direct hit on its dining room while dozens of Golani recruits were eating dinner, and penetrated the roof, causing a large number of deaths.

Since 23 September, the occupation forces have expanded the scope of the genocide on Gaza to include most areas of Lebanon, including the capital Beirut, through air strikes of unprecedented violence and intensity, and they also began a ground incursion in the south whilst disregarding international warnings and UN resolutions.

The Israeli occupation army, supported by the United States and Europe, has continued its aggression on the Gaza Strip for 374 days, where its aircraft bomb the vicinity of hospitals, buildings, towers and homes of Palestinian civilians, destroying them over the heads of their residents, and preventing the entry of water, food, medicine and fuel. The ongoing aggression by the occupation on Gaza has led to the martyrdom of more than 42,227 people, the injury of more than 98,464 others, and the displacement of 90% of the population of the Strip, according to data from the United Nations according to Quds Press.

Why Does Israel Keep Bombing Tents, Hospitals?

At least three Palestinians were killed and 40 injured in an Israeli strike on tents housing displaced civilians in the Gaza Strip early Monday, according to local media.

A fire erupted among the tents in the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, located in the central city of Deir al-Balah, as a result of the attack, Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

Officials from Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital told WAFA that many civilians were killed and injured in the Israeli attack, noting that the hospital was filled with wounded.

According to a written statement from the government media office in Gaza, this was the Israeli army’s seventh attack targeting the tents of displaced civilians at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

Images of people trapped in the flames have flooded social media.

Iran Strike on 15 Israeli Sites Topped $53 Million in Damages – Report

The Iranian missile attack on Israel earlier this month caused significant damage to property, amounting to an estimated $53 million, according to an Israeli report published on Sunday by Yedioth Ahronoth. The attack, which occurred on 1 October, is now regarded as one of the most destructive since the beginning of the war starting 7 October 2023.

Citing recent data from Israel’s property tax authority, Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the damages to civilian property are estimated between 150 and 200 million shekels (approximately $40 to $53 million). This makes it the most costly single missile strike on the occupation state since the war began.

The report detailed damage in at least 15 locations, including Israeli military bases. In Hod HaSharon, a settlement in central Israel, around 100 apartments were damaged, with losses estimated at more than 10 million shekels ($2.6 million) for one building alone.

Israel announced earlier this month that Iran had launched approximately 180 missiles in a retaliatory strike for the assassinations of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, and Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander Abbas Nilforoushan. The attack was described by Iran as revenge for these killings, which occurred in late September during Israeli airstrikes in Beirut and in July during an Israeli strike in Tehran.

Shortly after the incident, the Israeli military, as well as the Biden administration, denied that the strike had a significant influence according to the Quds News Network.
