8 Israeli Soldiers Feared Dead In Gaza Deadliest Attack – IDF
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has disclosed that the deadliest single incident involving its troops since October 7 occured on Saturday.
According to preliminary findings, said the IDF Spokesperson, Daniel Hagari in a press conference, an armored vehicle carrying soldiers as part of a convoy was hit by an explosion at around 5:15 a.m. local time during an operation targeting “terrorist infrastructure” in northern Tal al-Sultan.
Hagari said, “According to the information we have at this point, one of the engineering vehicles in the convoy was involved in an explosion that was apparently caused by explosive devices planted in the area or as a result of anti-tank missile fire.”
“The current assessment is that the ‘Nemera’ armored vehicle was hit as a result of an explosion of a roadside bomb. In addition, on the vehicle there were engineering tools that included explosive material.
“The explosion was significant and may have been caused by the ignition of the explosive material on the vehicle. This is not supposed to happen, and therefore the incident is being examined.”
