Five Israeli soldiers killed, seven injured in Gaza by errant Israeli tank shelling.
The casualties were with a force that entered Gaza City and seized buildings as part of a resumed attack on the refugee camp.
Two IDF tanks, positioned several dozen meters away, apparently spotted a gun in a window of one of the buildings and fired two shells towards the target.
The army said it was investigating why the soldiers were misidentified as Palestinian militants.
A total of 626 soldiers have been killed in Hamas’ 7 October 2023 attack and Israel’s ensuing attacks on Gaza, according to the IDF tally. (Xinhua/NAN)
