8 Israeli soldiers were killed in southern Gaza near Rafah, the Israeli Army announced on Saturday. This is the deadliest attack on Israeli forces in months. The soldiers were inside an armored vehicle that was hit by a major explosion. Hamas claimed responsibility for the ambush. The Israeli forces have been advancing in the Rafah region and their strikes today killed at least 19 Palestinians. The incident has heightened calls for a ceasefire as Israel continues its offensive following a deadly Hamas attack in October 2023. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties and displacement in Gaza.
