After terror operatives placed a roadside bomb, soldiers were hit on the side of the road and then came under fire. We are sad to report that five soldiers were killed and even more were injured, reports The Times of Israel:
Five Israeli soldiers were killed and 14 were wounded by a roadside bomb in Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday night, the military announced on Tuesday morning.
The slain soldiers were named as:
- Staff Sgt. Meir Shimon Amar, 20, from Jerusalem
- Sgt. Moshe Nissim Frech, 20, from Jerusalem.
- Staff Sgt. Noam Aharon Musgadian, 20, from Jerusalem.
- Staff Sgt. Moshe Shmuel Noll, 21, from Beit Shemesh.
- Sgt. First Class (res.) Benyamin Asulin, 28, from Haifa.
Amar, Frech, Musgadian, and Noll served in the Kfir Brigade’s Netzah Yehuda Battalion. Asulin served in the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade.
