Seven Israeli soldiers were killed and around 17 others were wounded, some critically, after being lured into a complex ambush in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, Israeli media reported on Tuesday evening.

According to the details, Israeli sources noted that the casualties involved two military units from different brigades and division-level formations. The reports also indicated that several soldiers were still unaccounted for on the battlefield, with serious concerns about their fate. Military helicopters reportedly evacuated the wounded to Tel HaShomer Hospital in Tel Aviv.

Israeli media described the incident as “difficult to comprehend,” given that both the killed and wounded were from two different units.

They reported that Palestinian Resistance fighters had set a sophisticated ambush for an Israeli force, setting fire to an armored personnel carrier of the Puma type while soldiers were still inside.

The cries of the wounded could be heard on video footage captured by Hamas fighters, before a second ambush was launched targeting the rescue team.

Israeli reports confirmed that the families of the killed soldiers had been notified and that some of the wounded remained in critical condition.
