Gaza City.. 7 Israeli soldiers injured in an attack on a troop carrier in the Zaitoun neighborhood.

The occupation army's radio reported on Saturday that 7 soldiers were injured on Friday evening by the explosion of a bomb targeting a "Namer" armored personnel carrier that was transporting them on the outskirts of Gaza City. The radio mentioned in a brief news report that "one of the soldiers is moderately injured and the others have minor injuries."

For its part, the Hebrew newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" stated that the incident occurred in the Zeitoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City and "the injured soldiers were transferred to the hospital and their families were notified," while Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip have not yet confirmed the targeting.

On Friday evening, the Hebrew channel "i24 News" reported "fierce clashes in the outskirts of Gaza City, accompanied by airstrikes and heavy artillery shelling, amid reports of Israeli forces advancing in the area."
