Four soldiers were killed in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday, the occupation military announced on Tuesday, as Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades announced its fighters ambushed occupation troops in the area.
Al-Qassam Brigades announced on Tuesday that the resistance fighters managed to detonate a highly explosive device as 10 Israeli soldiers entered a house in Jabalia Camp’s Al-Qasaseeb neighborhood in northern Gaza.
Al-Qassam said confirmed casualties were reported among the Israeli force including deaths.
The occupation military said the four soldiers were killed in an explosion while operating in northern Gaza’s Jabalia, noting that the army was investigating whether it was due to an anti-tank missile or an explosive device.
The soldiers all served with the Kfir Brigade’s Shimshon Battalion, it added.
The Times of Israel said the deaths brought the Israeli toll in the ground offensive “in the Gaza Strip and during operations along the border” to 375.
