4 IDF soldiers killed, 5 wounded after booby-trapped south Gaza building collapses
Four Israeli soldiers were killed and five were wounded by an explosion in a building in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis on Friday morning, the military said, amid an ongoing offensive against the Hamas terror group.
Two of the slain soldiers are named as: Sgt. Maj. (res.) Chen Gross, 33, of the Maglan commando unit, from Gan Yoshiya, and Staff Sgt. Yoav Raver, 19, of the Yahalom combat engineering unit, from Sde Warburg.
The names of the other two soldiers would be released later, the military said.
According to an initial IDF probe, the soldiers entered the building to clear it of possible terror infrastructure, including tunnels.

These could have been Gazan children. The Hamas health authority would have never told the truth about who booby-trapped the building.
We may never know how many Gazan children died in buildings booby-trapped by Hamas.
