At least eight Israeli soldiers have been killed in a blast that ripped through an armored vehicle in Southern Gaza, marking the biggest loss of life for the IDF in a single incident since January. The tragic incident occurred on Saturday in the Tal al-Sultan area, when combat engineers were returning from a mission. The IDF is investigating whether the vehicle was targeted or it was an accidental detonation. The attack is expected to fuel calls for a ceasefire and heighten public anger over ultra-Orthodox exemptions from the military.
