Jerusalem, MINA – Israeli soldier was killed and six others were injured in a “mistaken” shelling of a building housing Israeli forces in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, the military said on Monday, Anadolu Agency reports.
The army did not provide any details about the incident, only saying a soldier from the army’s Paratroopers Brigade’s reconnaissance unit was killed and six others injured.
Israeli public broadcaster KAN said the casualties occurred when an Israeli warplane dropped a bomb on a building adjacent to a multi-story building where the forces were stationed.
According to military figures, at least 694 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the outbreak of the Gaza conflict on Oct. 7, 2023. Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has continued its brutal offensive on Gaza.

The Israeli onslaught has since killed over 40,130 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured more than 92,740, according to local health authorities.
More than 10 months into the Israeli onslaught, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine. (T/RE1/P2)
