IDF kills 10 terrorists in Gaza

In intense fighting on Sunday night and Monday morning in the Hamas stronghold of Shajaiya, a neighborhood of Gaza City, forces from the Egoz unit engage and kill 10 Hamas operatives, including one who detonates a suicide vest.

There are conflicting reports about the sex of the suicide bomber.

In depicting the intensity of the battles in Shajaiya, where dozens of Palestinians were killed along with 13 soldiers on Sunday, Lt. Col. Peter Lerner says that the combat is “reminiscent of Black Hawk Down,” the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu.
