An officer and 3 Israeli soldiers were killed in the southern Gaza Strip

On Sunday morning, the Israeli army announced the killing of an officer and 3 of its soldiers during battles described as brutal in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.


According to the Israeli army statement, the dead officer was a captain called “Ido Baruch” from the Egoz unit, one of the commando units.


According to Israeli Army Radio, a military force was ambushed north of Khan Yunis after an armed group from Hamas emerged from the opening of one of the tunnels, and opened fire directly on the soldiers from a very close range, killing three immediately and seriously wounding a fourth, whose death was later announced. .


The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas movement, announced earlier yesterday that it had ambushed Israeli forces in Khan Yunis, killing and wounding about 16 soldiers.
