Gaza explosion kills eight Israeli soldiers, IDF's biggest loss of life in months 4,444 4,444 Earlier in the day, Hamas' militant wing said its fighters ambushed an armored personnel carrier west of Rafah, killing and wounding several Israeli soldiers 4,444 In the Israel-Hamas war, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that an armored vehicle explosion in the southern Gaza Strip killed at least eight Israeli soldiers. The tragic incident marked the IDF's biggest loss of life in a single incident since January.
According to the IDF, the incident occurred at around 5 a.m. on Saturday as engineers were in a convoy of six armored vehicles returning from an operation in the Tal al-Sultan area. As they arrived, a massive explosion destroyed one of the vehicles, killing eight Israeli soldiers, The Guardian reported.
News of the incident came shortly after the Palestinians said at least 19 Gazans were killed in a recent Israeli attack in Rafah.
The attack may increase calls for a ceasefire
The IDF is reportedly still investigating whether the vehicle involved in the incident was targeted or whether it was an accidental detonation caused by soldiers having a bomb inside the vehicle.
Interestingly, vehicles used by the IDF are usually equipped with explosives on the outside to avoid injury to the occupants in the event of an explosion. In any case, the incident is expected to increase calls for a ceasefire and increase Israeli public anger over the exemption of ultra-Orthodox Christians from military service.
It is important to note that the Israeli death toll from the Gaza operation now stands at 307. However, the increasing number of Israeli military deaths and injuries is becoming more noticeable among the Israeli public, many of whom are calling for a ceasefire.
At least 21 Israeli soldiers were killed in a single attack in January this year. The attack came amid news that Israel's war cabinet was considering raising the age limit for reservist service by one year.
