An IDF officer was seriously wounded and two other troops, including a reservist, were lightly injured by gunfire during fighting in the central Gaza Strip earlier today, the military says.
The officer, who served with the 414th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit, and the other two soldiers were taken to hospitals for treatment, and their families were notified, the IDF adds.
According to an initial IDF probe, a terror operative managed to breach an army post in Israel’s buffer zone in central Gaza, and open fire on troops. After a gun battle with the soldiers at the post, the gunman was killed.
