As troops continue to defend their homeland and expand operations in Gaza, a Palestinian gunman opened fire, killing one IDF reservist, reports The Times of Israel:
A reservist was killed and four soldiers were wounded in separate incidents fighting against the Hamas terror group in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday evening, the Israel Defense Forces announced Wednesday.
The fighting came as troops continued to advance in Gaza, in a new IDF offensive aimed at capturing 75 percent of the Strip’s territory…
According to an initial IDF probe, a Palestinian gunman armed with an assault rifle opened fire on the paratroopers who were operating in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood.
And just a day earlier on Monday, three IDF soldiers lost their lives defending Israel after a roadside bomb in Gaza directly hit a Humvee the soldiers were in.
