This morning, the spokesperson for the Israeli army allowed the release of the names of six additional soldiers who were killed in an explosion of an armored personnel carrier yesterday morning. At the same time, the names of two soldiers killed in a clash that took place in northern Gaza were also released, during which two other soldiers were seriously injured.
It is noted that the explosion occurred at five o'clock in the morning yesterday, Saturday, in Tal al-Sultan in the Rafah area, following a raid described by the army spokesperson as "successful, resulting in the death of dozens of militants." Eight soldiers were killed in the explosion of the engineering unit vehicle, which was traveling in a convoy and detonated at the entrance to the neighborhood. The Israeli army took a long time to reach the scene to rescue the soldiers due to the conditions in the area.
