In the southern Gaza Strip, an explosion claimed the lives of eight Israeli soldiers, marking the deadliest toll for the IDF in the enclave since January. The Israeli army has confirmed the death of 23-year-old Captain Wassem Mahmoud and is currently informing the families of the other seven soldiers who lost their lives. The names of these soldiers will be released to the public at a later time.
Initial investigations suggest that the troops were inside a Namer armored vehicle around 5am when it was hit by a large explosion. This occurred after an overnight offensive against Hamas in Tel Sultan neighborhood of Rafah, where around 50 gunmen were killed by 401st Armored Brigade. It is still unclear whether the explosion was caused by a bomb planted on the road or if Hamas operatives placed an explosive device directly on the vehicle.
The death toll in Gaza Strip continues to rise, with reports from Hamas Ministry of Health indicating at least 37,296 deaths and 85,197 injuries since the beginning of Israeli military operation in response to attack on October 7. In past 24 hours alone, there have been 30 deaths and 95 injuries reported.
