The IDF has presented the families of the four soldiers killed in the northern Gaza Strip this morning with an initial probe of the incident in which they were killed.
The incident occurred during the early morning hours, as the troops of the elite Multidomain Unit entered a building in Jabalia in order for it to be used for the army’s ongoing operations in the area.
In one of the upper floors of the building, an explosive device was detonated, hitting the soldiers, the probe finds.
The blast killed four soldiers on the spot, and wounded three others, including one seriously.
The slain troops were named as Cpt. Yehonatan Joni Keren, Staff Sgt. Nisim Meytal, Staff Sgt. Aviv Gilboa, and Staff Sgt. Naor Haimov.
