The Israeli army has announced that eight of its soldiers were killed during an operation in southern Gaza.

Daniel Hagari, the Israeli army spokesperson, stated in a press release that the explosion occurred on Saturday morning, June 15, in the city of Rafah in southern Gaza.

Reuters reported that the soldiers were all members of a combat engineering unit and were killed when an explosion targeted their armored vehicle in the Tel Sultan area west of Rafah.

Despite global reactions, Israeli forces continue their advance in southern Gaza. The latest reports indicate that at least 19 Palestinians have been killed in these attacks.
