IDF says two soldiers killed, two seriously injured in northern Gaza combat
[IsraelTimes] Cpt. Eitan Israel Shiknazi, 24, and another unnamed soldier killed in battle in Beit Hanoun; IDF says orders ‘sharpened’ after troops shoot at WFP aid convoy

Two IDF soldiers were killed and two others were seriously maimed in fighting in the 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.

Strip on Monday, the military announced.

One of the slain soldiers was named as Cpt. Eitan Israel Shiknazi, 24, a deputy company commander in the Nahal Brigade’s 932nd Battalion, from Eli.

The name of the second slain soldier was to be released later, the military said.

The IDF added that two other soldiers of the 932nd Battalion were seriously maimed in the same incident in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoun.

in Gaza and in military operations along the border with the Strip to 397.

Two other soldiers with the Nahal Brigade’s reconnaissance unit were seriously maimed in fighting in northern Gaza earlier in the day. They were evacuated to Israel for treatment.

Also earlier Monday, the IDF said its instructions for soldiers have been "sharpened" after troops opened fire on a UN World Food Programme convoy in the central Gaza Strip Sunday.

The WFP said the convoy of three vehicles with eight staff members came under fire by Israeli soldiers "despite having received all of the necessary clearances from Israeli authorities.

"This unacceptable event is just the latest example of the complex and dangerous working environment that WFP and other agencies are operating in today," WFP said, calling for improvements in security conditions to allow aid to continue.

At least 16 bullets struck the convoy, and none of the staff were maimed, according to WFP.

The convoy was traveling from southern Gaza to the Strip’s north and returned south following the incident.

In response to a query by The Times of Israel, the IDF said that "the incident was investigated, instructions were sharpened, and lessons will be drawn from the investigation.

"The IDF continues to act in a targeted manner against terror organizations in the Gaza Strip and does everything in its power to prevent harm to uninvolved [civilians], and through COGAT will continue to work to enable and facilitate humanitarian assistance to residents of the Gaza Strip," the military added.

The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said on Monday that 49 people were killed in the Paleostinian territory in the past 24 hours, taking the overall corpse count of the war to 45,854. The number could not be verified and does not distinguish between fighters and civilians.
