In a major escalation, five Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers have been killed and fourteen others wounded following a sophisticated IED (Improvised Explosive Device) attack by Hamas.
The incident occurred in Beit Hanoun, a hotspot in northern Gaza that has seen a recent surge in militant activity.
According to reports, the attack targeted an army medical unit that was entering the area to evacuate soldiers who were wounded in earlier fighting.
Four of the fallen soldiers were from the 97th Netzah Yehuda Battalion, with the fifth belonging to the Northern Gaza Brigade.
The IDF has officially named some of the deceased, including Staff Sgt.
Noam Musgadian and Sgt.
Moshe Frech, as the nation mourns their loss.
All fourteen injured soldiers have been evacuated for urgent medical treatment.
This attack comes at a critical time, coinciding with indirect ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, mediated in Doha, Qatar.
The latest round of talks on Monday ended without any significant breakthrough.
Adding a layer of political drama to the tragedy, a photograph circulated by RT News allegedly captured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's furious reaction to the news, which he reportedly received just before a dinner with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
This deadly incident, occurring two years into the Israel-Gaza war, highlights the persistent threat posed by Hamas and raises serious questions about Israel's ability to completely secure the region and neutralize the group's operational capabilities.
