Deadliest Attack in Months: 8 Israeli Soldiers Killed in Gaza

Eight Israeli soldiers were killed in southern Gaza in the deadliest attack on Israeli forces in months. The explosion that caused their deaths is likely to fuel calls for a ceasefire and increase Israeli public anger over ultra-Orthodox exemptions from military service. The Israeli coalition government, which includes ultra-Orthodox parties, recently voted in favor of extending these exemptions, causing uproar during a war where hundreds of soldiers have died.

Eight Israeli soldiers have been killed in southern Gaza according to the country's military. Only one of the deceased soldiers has been identified by the army, and no further details are currently available. This tragic event is expected to increase demands for a ceasefire and intensify Israeli public frustration regarding ultra-Orthodox exemptions from military service.
