An explosive device struck an Israeli armored vehicle in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, resulting in the deaths of seven Israeli soldiers, a military official confirmed on Wednesday.
This tragic event further intensifies the conflict, with more than 860 Israeli soldiers killed during the ongoing war that erupted after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack. Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, reported ambushing Israeli soldiers using missiles and machine guns.
The Gaza Health Ministry reports over 56,000 Palestinian fatalities, mostly women and children, in this high-casualty conflict, whereas Israel states its strikes target only militants. In parallel, an east Jerusalem incident sees a woman succumb to injuries, highlighting ongoing tensions in the area.
