Ehsan Daqsa, who commanded the 401st brigade, was killed after his tank was hit by explosive devices in Jabalia
A Palestinian resistance IED strike on a Merkava tank eliminated a Zionist senior commander, Colonel Ehsan Daqsa (commander of the "401st Armored Brigade"), in the Jabaliya refugee camp. Snip:
Colonel Ehsan Daqsa, 41, was killed after his tank and another tank were hit by explosive devices during military operations in Jabalia refugee camp.
Another Israeli soldier was seriously wounded during the same incident.
Daqsa has been described in Israeli media as one of the most senior officers to have been killed since the war on Gaza began over a year ago.

I feel like I've seen this one. quite a few times, even! Let me guess: literally no infantry were around protecting the armor at all, and so some guy in flipflops was able climb out of a hole dug into the ground, run up, put a on it, and then jump back into the hole in the ground, while taking no fire in doing so.
carrying out 'military operations' in the places people were forced to try to flee to in order to avoid the death-and-destruction of our previous 'military operations.' repeat ad nauseum
most moral army btw give us more money and bombs for our 'right to defend ourselves' in this manner
Assuming this is rhetorical, but for everyone else: this "military operation" more or less seems to have the goal of total extermination of every last Palestinian north of Gaza city.
Earlier this year, he ordered the destruction of the Canada Well water facility, which supplied 50% of the water in southern Gaza’s Rafah governorate, where much of the population had evacuated.
Wow, I hope you burn in hell you disgusting piece of trash.
Love how their soldiers are either a 21 year old major general in charge of posting images of IOF soldiers rifling through underwear drawers for propaganda purposes, or a 40 year old Colonel who is commanding a force of multiple heavy brigades because he's the only one familiar with advanced concepts like "flanking".
Israeli "Defence" Forces be like: rest in peace colonel Yoav Shalom, who died valiantly protecting an open window in Rafah City. Yeah he was 17 years old and only finished basic training two weeks ago what about it?
Meanwhile, Israeli settlers held a conference near the border with Gaza, with the Israeli army allowing them to set up tents for the Jewish festival of Sukkot.
Haaretz reported that the "Preparing to resettle Gaza" conference, organised by the Nachala Settlement Movement which establishes illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, set up 50 sukkah tents and were set to sleep in them on Sunday night.
The tents were erected in a closed military area near Kibbutz Be'eri.
Nachala said last week that the conference was "planned not only as a theoretical conference, but as a practical exercise and practical preparation for resettlement in Gaza."
"The return to settlement in Gaza is no longer an idea, but a move that is currently in an advanced stage with the support of the government and the public," it added.
Imagine being a POS in a merkava, designed explicitly to protect its occupants by placing the engine in the front as extra armour, only to hear a gentle "thud" over the sound of the idling engine shortly before the poorly protected side armour spalls around your cockpit and turns you and your closest colonizer mates into shredded chicken. All because your fellow child murderers are too chicken shit to support their flanks.
