The Israeli occupation forces acknowledged, on Wednesday, that four soldiers were killed and five others were injured, three of them in serious condition, in an ambush by the Palestinian Resistance in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, Palestine, on Tuesday.
After the Israeli occupation allowed the publication, the occupation forces announced the death of the deputy company commander in the Shaked battalion - Givati brigade, Captain Daniel Memon, as well as two Staff Sergeants from the same division, and another Staff Sergeant from the 401 armored division.
Israeli media reported that the four soldiers were killed after a pre-rigged building exploded in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood in Rafah, noting that the IOF is still "examining the mechanism of the explosion."
In another incident in Shabura camp, an officer from the Israeli occupation's Givati patrol was seriously injured by an RPG fired at the Namir armored vehicle he was in.
According to Israeli media, 343 IOF soldiers have been killed in the battles in the Gaza Strip so far.
It is important to note that yesterday, Palestinian media sources reported that the Resistance carried out an elaborate ambush against the Israeli occupation forces in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, causing deaths and injuries.
Video footage showed helicopters of the occupation forces evacuating soldiers injured in the Resistance ambush.
This comes as the Palestinian Resistance continues to fight fierce confrontations with the Israeli occupation forces inside the Gaza Strip for the eleventh consecutive month.
Saraya al-Quds, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, announced that its fighters destroyed an Israeli Merkava tank in the vicinity of the Adnan Abu Taha junction, east of Rafah, by detonating a high-explosive Thaqib-barrel device.

The number of Palestinians killed in Gaza on the 347th day of the ongoing Israeli genocidal war has risen to 41,252 with 95,497 people wounded, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said on Tuesday.
In its daily report, the ministry mentioned that Israeli occupation forces committed three massacres in Gaza, killing 26 people and wounding 84 others in just 24 hours, not counting those killed in the newest massacres.
Israeli occupation forces carried out a massacre on Tuesday in the al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, targeting a densely populated residential area, killing over 50 people, an Al Mayadeen correspondent confirmed.
The Civil Defense in Gaza reported that the residential area was bombed using heavy US-made bombs.
It noted that Israeli drones opened fire at Civil Defense teams as they arrived at the scene of the massacre, obstructing their efforts to rescue the wounded and remove the bodies of the martyrs.
The Civil Defense urgently called on the Red Cross to coordinate access for its teams to rescue dozens still trapped beneath the destroyed buildings, adding that they had received numerous distress calls from within the homes hit by the occupation.
Entire families were erased from the civil registry in the al-Bureij massacre, with the majority of the martyrs still trapped beneath the rubble, the civil defense added.
