ERBIL, Iraq

Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari said Saturday that "the military structure of Hamas has been completely disbanded" in the northern Gaza Strip.

Hagari shared details about the ongoing attacks of the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip at a news conference and indicated that the army is focused on "disbanding Hamas" in the central Gaza Strip and the south.

Hours earlier, the Israeli military stressed in a statement a soldier was killed and another seriously injured in fighting in northern Gaza.​​​​​​​

Since Hamas’ cross-border attack on Oct. 7, Israel has continued relentless attacks on the Gaza Strip, killing at least 22,722 Palestinians and injuring 58,166, said health authorities.

At least 9,280 children have been killed in the Israeli onslaught, according to data released by the Gaza Media Office on Monday.

Israeli authorities claimed that the Hamas attacks have killed around 1,200 Israelis.

The Israeli onslaught has left Gaza in ruins, with 60% of the enclave’s infrastructure damaged or destroyed and nearly 2 million residents displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water, and medicine.

The Israeli army announced that 510 soldiers have been killed since Oct, 7, when attacks on Gaza began -- 176 during the land invasion process.

On Nov. 24, a total of 81 Israeli and 240 Palestinian prisoners were released during a "humanitarian pause," which was granted for four days in the fighting and later extended for another three days.

Meanwhile, Israel has continued to detain and imprison thousands of Palestinians.

Since Oct. 7, a total of 326 Palestinians have been killed in attacks by Israeli forces and illegal Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.

In the ongoing clashes between the Israeli army and Hezbollah on the Lebanese border since Oct. 8, a total of 28 Lebanese civilians, 148 Hezbollah members, five Israeli civilians and nine Israeli soldiers died.
