Israeli military names two soldiers killed fighting in the Gaza Strip

The Israeli military confirmed two more soldiers have been killed in its ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, bringing its death toll to 46.

Staff Sergeant Roee Marom, 21, a squad commander in the 906 Battalion; and Major Raz Abulafia, 27, of the 6863 Battalion, were killed fighting in Gaza, a military spokesperson said Tuesday morning. 

Israel and Hamas’ military wing, the Al-Qassam brigades, have been engaging in fierce urban combat around Gaza City. 

On Tuesday, Hamas released a video showing its fighters hiding in bombed-out buildings as they fired on Israeli tanks and soldiers with rocket-propelled grenades (RPG's) and bazookas. 

Middle East Eye couldn’t independently verify the video or its date and location.
