Explosive Kills 7 Israeli Soldiers In Gaza

JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military says seven soldiers were killed in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis when an explosive device affixed to their armored vehicle detonated. Tuesday’s explosion was a particularly deadly incident for Israel’s military inside Gaza. Over 860 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the war against Hamas began in 2023. Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, said it had ambushed Israeli soldiers taking cover inside a residential building Tuesday in the southern Gaza Strip. It was not immediately clear whether the two incidents were the same. The deadly attack came as the Palestinian death toll inside Gaza passed 56,000.
