The Israeli military has suffered the deadliest days of its ground invasion of southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip when at least 13 soldiers were killed in less than 48 hours. 

The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has inflicted more casualties on intruding Israeli forces and carried out further retaliatory attacks on Israeli positions in the occupied territories.

Israeli soldiers say they are depressed, worn out, psychologically damaged and unmotivated.

At least two Israeli soldiers have been injured in a shooting operation in the occupied territories near the Dead Sea.

At least three Israeli army majors have been killed during clashes with Palestinian resistance fighters in the northern sector of the Gaza Strip.

Hamas says it "highly appreciates" Hezbollah's support after the Lebanese resistance group's leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah vowed to keep fighting Israel until a ceasefire has been reached in Gaza.

The Palestinian Ministry of Education has slammed Israeli soldiers over mocking Palestinian students after they shared a photograph of themselves sitting behind desks in one of the only schools left undamaged in the Gaza Strip.
