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.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) sounded the alarm on Saturday over a rapidly escalating humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.

“All basic supplies are running out in Gaza. It means babies, children are going to bed hungry,” Juliette Touma, the agency’s director of communications, said in a statement.

“Six weeks into the Israeli-imposed siege blocking the entry of aid and commercial supplies, food stocks are nearly gone, bakeries closed, and hunger is spreading,” the agency also noted.

The UNRWA emphasized that “immediate action is needed to prevent a deepening humanitarian crisis.”

The Israeli army renewed a deadly assault on Gaza on March 18, shattering the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

More than 50,900 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
