Four Soldiers Were Killed In Northern Gaza IED Attack : Israeli Army

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) acknowledged on May 10 that four of its soldiers were killed in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood in the northern Gaza Strip.

The four slain soldiers were all serving in the ranks of the Nahal Brigade’s 931st Battalion. According to an initial probe by the IDF, the soldiers were killed by an explosive device or several devices while moving in an alleyway in the Zeitoun neighborhood.

Israeli troops were raiding a school complex in the Zeitoun neighborhood where the IDF spotted activities by the Hamas Movement. Weaponry and at least one tunnel were allegedly discovered in the area of the school.

The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad -the second largest armed faction in Gaza after Hamas-, announced during the day that its fighters blew up a field of explosive devices and landmines in a number of IDF vehicles in the Zeitoun neighborhood. This was most likely the deadly attack described in the IDF probe.
