Israeli army says 2 more soldiers killed, 5 injured seriously in Gaza battles


The Israeli army on Tuesday announced that two more soldiers were killed and five others wounded seriously in ground battles in northern Gaza.

In a statement, the Israeli army identified the two soldiers as Arnon Moshe, 26, and Ilya Senkin, 20, from its elite Givati Brigade.

It added that five soldiers seriously wounded in battles across Gaza were taken to hospital.

According to the Times of Israel news website, the number of Israeli soldiers killed in Gaza ground offensive since Oct. 27 reached 68.

Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip — including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship — since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas on Oct. 7.

At least 13,300 Palestinians have been killed, including 5,600 children and 3,550 women.

The Israeli death toll is nearly 1,200, according to official figures.
