Palestinian Resistance fighters carried out a deadly ambush targeting Israeli occupation forces in northern Gaza, late on Monday, reportedly killing at least six Israeli soldiers and wounding 16 others—several of them critically—according to Israeli media outlets.

Some of the killed soldiers were burned to death during the assault. The operation bore a striking resemblance to a previous ambush on June 24, in which seven Israeli troops were killed when Palestinian Resistance fighters targeted an armored combat engineering unit.
