5 Israeli soldiers killed overnight in northern Gaza and 18 dead in Israeli strikes

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, two seriously, by three improvised explosive devices in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza, on Tuesday.
  • The attack follows Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023, assault that killed about 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, igniting a 21-month war with ongoing Israeli offensives.
  • Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida called the Beit Hanoun raid an "additional blow" against a "weak" Israeli army, while Netanyahu linked the soldiers’ deaths to efforts to defeat Hamas and free hostages.
  • Health officials reported 41 people killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza, including 10 dead and 72 wounded in central Gaza, amid U.S. efforts to finalize a 60-day ceasefire plan.
  • The soldier deaths increase pressure on Netanyahu as Hamas offers to release hostages if Israel ends the war and withdraws from Gaza.
