Eight Israeli soldiers killed in southern Gaza Strip in deadliest attack on Israeli forces in months – The Economic Times Video

An explosion in the southern Gaza Strip killed eight Israeli soldiers, the military said on Saturday, the deadliest attack on Israeli forces in months. The attack, which came more than eight months into a grueling war that shows little sign of ending soon, is likely to fuel calls by Israeli protesters for a ceasefire. The government also faces widespread anger over the exemption of young ultra-Orthodox men from military service.
