A Namer combat engineering vehicle
Emanuel Fabian – Times of Israel June 15, 2024
Eight Israeli soldiers were killed in a blast in southern the Gaza Strip’s Rafah on Saturday morning, the military announced, in what marked the deadliest incident for the Israel Defense Forces in the enclave since January.
Only one of the soldiers was named as of Saturday afternoon: Cpt. Wassem Mahmoud, 23, a deputy company commander in the Combat Engineering Corps’ 601st Battalion, from the northern Druze-majority town of Beit Jann.
The families of the other seven slain soldiers were notified, and their names were due to be released later on Saturday, the military said.
According to an initial IDF probe, the troops were all killed inside a Namer armored combat engineering vehicle (CEV).
The soldiers had been driving in a convoy at around 5 a.m. on Saturday following an overnight offensive against Hamas in the northwestern areas of Rafah’s Tel Sultan neighborhood, during which troops under the 401st Armored Brigade killed some 50 gunmen, according to the IDF.
The convoy was heading to buildings captured by the army, for the troops to rest following the overnight operation.
The Namer CEV was the fifth or sixth vehicle in the convoy, and at some point, it was hit by a major explosion. It was not immediately clear if it was a bomb planted ahead of time or if Hamas operatives had approached the vehicle with an explosive device and directly placed it on the CEV.
The military was also investigating the possibility that explosives stored on the outside of the CEV contributed to the massive blast. Normally, the mines and other explosives stored on the outside of a CEV would not manage to cause injuries to troops inside if they detonated.
There was no gunfire amid the incident, and the vehicle was not at a standstill when the blast occurred, the probe found. The disabled CEV was later towed to a safe location in the Strip.
Their deaths brought the toll of slain IDF soldiers in the ground offensive against Hamas and amid operations along the Gaza border to 307. A police officer was killed in a hostage rescue operation last week, and a civilian Defense Ministry contractor has also been killed in the Strip.
The deadliest incident for the IDF in Gaza occurred in January, during which 21 soldiers were killed in a blast following Hamas RPG fire that collapsed two buildings.
Say, the talmudic evil cult on many instances announces out loud that they will kill all amaleks, there is men, women children etc. meaning all indigenous Palestinians – which they claim all are Hamas and animals. So, the same objective should be carried out against all the imposters, occupiers talmudic cult members. It is now around37,000 Palestinians that have been slaughtered by the occupiers. Thus, 37,000 talmudic cult members should also be disposed off – as they say an eye for an eye.
A 23 year old Captain?? LOL! The IDF are punks. I’m surprised they haven’t deserted. They’re scared and don’t want to be there. Every time a few of them get killed, the rest cry & wet their pants. They don’t fare well fighting real men who are armed. They prefer killing civilians. Hezbollah will open a huge can of whup-ass on the Satanic Kikes occupying Palestine.
More fantasy dead Jews being reported by the Times of Israel. Remember, you can trust their news agencies. Notice they never show us any corpses of either the fictitious dead Jews or Palestinians. I call hoax. This is all being done to convince the morons that the conflict is ‘real’ & that Jews are in a ‘real struggle’ here..
great post machiavelli. I think they’re secretly shipping or flying these palestinians to europe and usa and falsely reporting they’re being killed, hoodwinking the whites
