Hamas kills two Israeli soldiers in northern Gaza

A Hamas fighter reportedly killed two Israeli soldiers before detonating himself near additional troops in the northern Gaza Strip, according to a statement from the group’s military wing, the Qassam Brigades.

The statement detailed that the fighter, disguised in an Israeli military uniform, shot and killed an Israeli sniper and another soldier at close range in the Jabalia refugee camp. Following the shooting, the fighter allegedly reached a group of six Israeli soldiers and detonated an explosive, causing further casualties.
