'Israeli' officer, soldier wounded in northern Gaza confrontation

The 'Israeli' military reported Monday that an officer and a soldier were injured in northern Gaza confrontation.

According to the army statement, a combat officer sustained moderate injuries while another soldier suffered light wounds during a clash in the area.

Since the beginning of the war, the 'Israeli' military has reported 898 soldiers killed and 6,196 injured, according to figures on its official website.

Under strict military censorship in 'Israel', the army faces domestic criticism over allegedly underreporting the full scale of casualties and material losses to maintain morale.
