*At Least Six Israeli Soldiers Killed in Major Resistance Ambush in Northern Gaza*

Jerusalem July 08: At least six Israeli soldiers were killed and one remains missing after a major resistance ambush in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza.

At least six Israeli soldiers were killed and ten others wounded—some critically—during a major resistance operation in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza, on Monday. Another soldier remains missing, according to multiple Israeli media reports cited in Al-Jazeera.

The incident occurred when Palestinian resistance fighters detonated an explosive device targeting an armored vehicle transporting Israeli soldiers.

Moments later, fighters reportedly struck a robot loaded with ammunition using an anti-tank missile as it was being prepared. The resistance then shelled the Israeli rescue forces that rushed to the scene.

Residents of Aqsqalon (Ashkelon), near Gaza’s northern periphery, reported hearing a “huge explosion,” while Israeli sources confirmed that one of the wounded is a senior officer.
