Seven Israeli soldiers were killed in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis on Tuesday when their armored vehicle was struck by an explosive, an Israeli military official said. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in line with military regulations, said that six of the soldiers’ names had been cleared for publication, while one was still being kept confidential. Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, said it had ambushed Israeli soldiers taking cover inside a residential building in southern Gaza Strip. It wasn't immediately clear if it was the same incident.
