Thirteen soldiers were killed overnight when they encountered fierce resistance fighting in the dense urban environment of Gaza City, the IDF announced Sunday evening.
The central battle began when an anti-tank missile fired from within a Gaza building struck an Israeli armored personnel carrier, killing seven soldiers from the 13th battalion of the Golani Brigade, the army said.
The ambush, supported by machine gun fire, took place in the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City, in the northern part of the 40-kilometer-long Strip.
In the ensuing fighting, an unspecified number of soldiers were wounded, including Col. Ghassan Elian, the commander of the Golani Brigade, whose wound was deemed light to moderate.
The army did not immediately release for publication the names of the soldiers who were killed. The families were informed earlier on Sunday. At least two of the Israeli soldiers killed were dual US-Israel nationals, according to IDF officials. All the 13 fatalities were from the Golani Brigade, the army said.

It’s quite revealing that you label Israel’s Ambassador’s request for help and other Israeli supporter’s request for help in DEFENDING ISRAEL against false accusations from Hamas ... as SPAM.
That pretty much clears up whether you’re on Israel’s side or Hamas’ side.
You sure are full of it.
Well, I’m on the right side in defending Israel against the false accusations of war crimes and indiscriminate and wanton killing of Palestinian civilians ... which is leveled against it by Israel’s enemies.
What you are is a kook.
Then I guess you’re calling Ambassador Ron Dermer, Israel’s chief diplomatic representative in the U.S., and Joel Leyden, who works in Jewish PR and public affairs ... kooks, too ... LOL ...
You guessed wrong, Mr. Alinsky.
Their message is my message ...
According to you that statement is support for Hamas. Insanity is not a virtue or an argument.
You’re speaking AGAINST what Israel itself says, what its own laws say, what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says, what the IDF says, what the Ambassadors for Israel say, and what other supporters who are Jewish say in support of their country. And it’s AGAINST what they “advertise to the world” that they do.
You’re on the wrong side of the argument ... in comparison to all these other people, who do have something to do with Israel, and most of them taking care of and protecting Israel, in the government and in the armed forces
I have been speaking for myself, dumbass. Are you schizo? Do you hallucinate visually too?
Whomever you speak for ... It’s AGAINST what Israel itself says, what its own laws say, what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says, what the IDF says, what the Ambassadors for Israel say, and what other supporters who are Jewish say in support of their country. And it’s AGAINST what they “advertise to the world” that they do.
The only problem with that nutty statement is the fact that I haven’t said a single word about what Israel does or does not do. You’re a loon who lives in a fantasy world.
