An IDF reservist was seriously wounded during fighting in the southern Gaza Strip this afternoon, the military announces.
According to an initial IDF probe, the soldier, of the 205th Reserve Armored Brigade’s 5250th Battalion, was hit by RPG fire in Rafah’s Tel Sultan neighborhood.
The terror operatives fired the RPG at an army Humvee, and possibly also opened fire with light arms.
Another two soldiers were lightly hurt in the incident.
Israeli fighter jets carried out several strikes in the area following the incident, in an attempt to eliminate the operatives behind the attack.
