While the resistance continues to repel Israeli forces, the Israeli forces on Thursday admitted to the deaths of two soldiers among its ranks in southern Gaza.
Israeli news sources clarified that one of the killed soldiers belonged to the Givati Brigade and was killed during an exchange of fire with a group that infiltrated from Gaza into the other side of the separation line, near the Kerem Shalom crossing.
Israeli media further reported the death of a soldier due to an explosive device detonation in a tunnel in Rafah.
Meanwhile, the Al-Qassam Brigades reported carrying out a "behind the lines" operation, enabling militants to breach the Israeli separation fence in Rafah and attack the headquarters of the occupying brigade.
