BEIT HANOUN, NORTHERN GAZA STRIP, JUL 8 – The attack in Beit Hanoun killed five Israeli soldiers and wounded 14 during a ground operation amid efforts to negotiate a US-backed 60-day ceasefire in Gaza.
- Five Israeli soldiers were killed and 14 wounded by three improvised explosive devices in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza, according to the Israeli military and spokesman Effie Defrin.
- The attack occurred amid ongoing hostilities ignited by Hamas's October 7, 2023, assault on Israel that killed about 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, triggering Israel's extensive Gaza offensive.
- Meanwhile, Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least 41 Palestinians, including children and displaced families in Khan Younis and central Gaza, where 10 people died and 72 were wounded.
