Israeli media reported on Monday that the military is responding to what it described as a “serious security incident” in the eastern part of Gaza City, amid what sources called a “new disaster” and “fierce combat” in the area.
According to Israeli media outlets, at least one Zionist soldier was killed and three others were critically wounded. In response, the military reportedly activated the “Hannibal Protocol”—a “controversial directive aimed at preventing soldier abductions, even at high risk.
Palestinian sources said Israeli helicopters landed in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in northeastern Gaza City, accompanied by heavy aerial presence, artillery strikes, and the use of smoke grenades.
Israeli reports confirmed that military aircraft were conducting medical evacuations from Gaza to Tel HaShomer Hospital in central occupied Palestine.

Surge in Resistance Attacks
The incident follows a recent spike in resistance operations targeting Israeli occupation forces. Last Tuesday, the Israeli occupation army confirmed the deaths of five soldiers from the Netzah Yehuda Battalion of the Kfir Brigade and injuries to 14 others in clashes in northern Gaza.
Israeli Military Losses Mount
According to official Israeli military figures, 890 soldiers and officers have been killed and over 6,000 injured since the war began. However, the Israeli occupation army faces growing accusations of concealing the true extent of its losses.
Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli enemy—backed by unwavering US support—has waged a relentless military campaign on Gaza, widely condemned by rights groups as genocidal. The assault has left approximately 196,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, the majority women and children, with over 10,000 missing and hundreds of thousands displaced.
