Four Israeli soldiers killed, five others wounded in Gaza

Israel has confirmed the deaths of four of its soldiers and the wounding of five others in a booby-trapped building in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, on Friday.

Responding to reporters ' questions, Israeli army spokesperson Effie Defrin, cited by The Times of Israel, said: “Sometimes there’s no choice but to investigate a tunnel route."

“To do this, without being harmed by an explosive, we carry out a variety of methods. We will investigate this incident,” he added. 

This comes as the al-Quds Brigades - the military wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad - said it ambushed multiple Israeli military vehicles also in Khan Younis on Friday, using barrel bombs and other explosives.
