At least five Israeli soldiers were wounded in three separate incidents in the Gaza Strip, Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Saturday. A "security incident" in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, also prompted an emergency aerial evacuation of wounded personnel.
The Palestinian Resistance launched a series of coordinated attacks against Israeli occupation forces across the Gaza Strip, delivering yet another blow to the military amid the ongoing genocidal war.
