Israeli Soldiers Killed, Injured in 2 Separate Incidents in Gaza

Israeli media reported, Friday night, Israeli soldiers were involved in two separate attacks in the Gaza Strip.

Hebrew media reported, citing military sources, that a deputy company commander and an Israeli soldier were killed during a clash in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.

Hebrew media reported that six Israeli soldiers were injured, one of them seriously, in a security incident in the southern Gaza Strip.

The media indicated that the soldiers targeted in southern Gaza were members of the Israeli Border Guard’s “Yamas” unit.

The Hebrew website Hadashot Bezaman reported that an Israeli helicopter landed at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, carrying wounded soldiers.

The Hebrew website Hadashot Hamot reported that two security incidents occurred involving Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip.

Last Thursday, the Israeli occupation army admitted that an Israeli tank driver was killed and three others were wounded, two of them seriously, in a sniper operation and an anti-tank missile attack targeting an armored force of the occupation army in the buffer zone north of the Gaza Strip.

The occupation army announced, under the “publication permit” clause, that the dead soldier was Sergeant First Class Asaf Kafri, 26 years old, a tank driver in the 79th Battalion.

According to the occupation army statement, an officer from the “Yahalom” special engineering unit was seriously injured, in addition to a reserve soldier from the same battalion, and they were transferred to the hospital for treatment.

Hadashot Hamot TV reported that the incident occurred in the same spot where the soldier Nasasra was killed last week, raising questions within the Israeli military establishment about the reasons for the recurrence of operations in locations where heavy losses have previously been recorded.

It also indicated that the occupation police are closing the Sderot area for fear of infiltration incidents and preventing the movement of settlers for fear of being hit by sniper fire.

Scenes broadcast by Hebrew media showed Helicopter evacuation of wounded Israeli soldiers. These developments come as Israeli military operations continue in the Gaza Strip, amid mounting public pressure within Israel and growing criticism of the performance of the military and political leadership.

Pezeshkian also dismissed expectations that Iran would surrender unconditionally, saying that those who nurse such hopes “will take their dreams to the grave.”
