Five soldiers killed, 10 wounded in explosion in northern Gaza, IDF says
[IsraelTimes] Initial probe finds troops were prepping for engineering activity when explosives detonated, collapsing building; Hamas-run agency claims at least 50 dead in strikes in Gaza City

Five Israel Defense Forces soldiers were killed and 10 were maimed in a kaboom in northern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

were said to be nearing a deal that could end the war and free hostages held there since October 7, 2023.

The slain troops were all serving with the Nahal Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit.

They were named as Cpt. Yair Yakov Shushan, 23, from Ma’alot-Tarshiha; Staff Sgt. Yahav Hadar, 20, from Kfar Tavor; Staff Sgt. Guy Karmiel, 20, from Gedera; Staff Sgt. Yoav Feffer, 19, from Herzliya; and Staff Sgt. Aviel Wiseman, 20, from Poria.

On Monday evening, the IDF said it had presented the families of the five soldiers with an initial probe of the deadly incident, which found that the team of troops from the Nahal Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit had set out on Monday morning for a mission in the Beit Hanoun area.

They were inside a building and preparing to use explosives for engineering activity when the explosives detonated. As a result of the blast, the building the troops were in collapsed, killing the five soldiers.

The military said the cause of the earth-shattering kaboom was still under investigation.

Much of the heaviest fighting over the past several months has been in northern Gaza, where the IDF launched a fresh offensive in October to keep Hamas

faceless myrmidons from regrouping.

Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesperson for Gaza’s Hamas-controlled civil defense agency, said Israeli strikes pounded Gaza City throughout the day, hitting "schools, homes and even gatherings of people," killing at least 50.

The number could not be confirmed, and Hamas officials do not differentiate between civilians and combatants in their death tallies.

The civil defense agency claimed eleven people were killed and several others injured when an Israeli strike targeted a house in the city’s Shejaiya neighborhood, with the rest occurring in other strikes across Gaza City throughout the day.

There was no comment from the Israeli army.

Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools and mosques.

Israelis and Gazooks were hopeful Monday that the war could soon draw down, amid indications that mediators in Doha were nearing a deal to free 98 Israeli hostages held by Hamas and end the fighting in the Strip.

Among the key sticking points in the talks have been disagreements over a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the scale of humanitarian aid for the Paleostinian territory, the return of displaced Gazooks to their homes, and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Paleostinian enclave and the reopening of border crossings.
