Three IDF soldiers were wounded, one of them seriously, in the attack by terror operatives on an army encampment in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis this morning, the military says.

The troops served with the Kfir Brigade’s Nahshon Battalion. One was seriously injured and the other two are listed in good condition, according to the military.

According to an IDF probe of the attack, at least 14 gunmen emerged from a tunnel near the encampment and opened fire on troops with machine guns and RPGs. The troops returned fire, killing at least eight.
