JERUSALEM, June 7 (Xinhua) — Four Israeli soldiers were killed in the southern Gaza Strip on Friday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.

The dead soldiers included 33-year-old Staff Sergeant Hen Gross and 19-year-old Staff Sergeant Yoav Raver, according to the statement.

Israeli state television Kan TV News reported that the soldiers were killed when an explosive device went off at a Hamas-linked building in Khan Yunis, causing the building to collapse.

Rescuers worked for several hours to extract bodies from the rubble, the channel reported. IDF troops entered the building after receiving intelligence that a Hamas tunnel was located underneath.

According to the channel and the IDF, five more soldiers were injured in the incident. –0–
