Seven IDF reservists were wounded, including four seriously, during fighting in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today, the military says.
The troops, of the 205th “Iron Fist” Reserve Armored Brigade’s 9215th Battalion, were taken to a hospital in Israel for treatment.
According to an initial probe, the troops were wounded by an explosive device or grenade hurled at them by a Hamas operative.
Four of the reservists are seriously wounded, two are listed in moderate condition, and one was lightly injured.
