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.

    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.

    Hope they get blown to pieces.
