Israel Grieves as IDF Identifies Eight Soldiers Killed in Rafah, Two in Northern Gaza

By: Jewish Press, Hana Levi Julian, June 16, 2024:

The nation of Israel is grieving the loss of eight young IDF soldiers who were killed in action early Saturday morning in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, in addition to two fighters who were killed in action in northern Gaza on Saturday night.

The eight soldiers were members of a company from the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion and had just completed an operation in the Tal as-Sultan neighborhood of Rafah and were heading to a building to rest when their Namer armored vehicle exploded. The APC burned for about two hours after the explosion; it was very badly damaged, indicating a powerful charge. The vehicle was subsequently towed to a secure area in Gaza under Israeli military control for further investigation to determine exactly what happened.
