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.
- Netanyahu expressed his condolences for the soldiers who died, emphasizing their sacrifice in the effort to combat Hamas and secure the release of hostages, while Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida called the attack a further setback to what he labeled a weakened military.
- The violence continues amid efforts by White House officials and Israeli leaders to finalize a ceasefire agreement to pause fighting, allow aid, and free some hostages, with reports that details are nearly settled.
