Three Israeli soldiers lost their lives in Rafah due to a booby trap explosion, with three others sustaining injuries. This incident marks a grim milestone in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has been escalating since the ground operation in Gaza began in October. The total number of soldiers killed has now reached at least 290.
Israeli National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi indicated in an interview that the war against Hamas militants is expected to persist until the end of the year. The objective remains to dismantle the military and governing capabilities of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad group.
