The Israeli regime military says seven of its troops were killed in the southern Gaza Strip after an armored vehicle they were traveling in was hit by an explosive device on Tuesday.

Effie Defrin, the chief spokesman for the Israeli military, said on Wednesday that seven personnel, including an officer, were killed by an explosive device in the southern city of Khan Yunis.

This marks the highest death toll in a single incident in Gaza for the Israeli military since a ceasefire between Israel and the Gaza-based Hamas resistance movement collapsed in March following Tel Aviv’s resumption of aggression.

He described the deaths as painful and difficult and part of a “complex” incident that was still being investigated, adding that the battalion to which the soldiers belonged had been locating and demolishing tunnels and killing Palestinian resistance fighters.

    I think I saw the video for this; just so we’re clear, if this is that video (which also said seven IOF were turned into confetti), it was someone who dashed up to a (tank?), went up to the open hatch and dropped the little gift inside. You could even see the helmet of one of the stormtroopers inside, and I think I heard some screaming too before it went off.

    They didn’t fire something at the vehicle, a guy ran right up to it and climbed up; the guys who are fighting the IOF, despite being starved, have nerves of steel to actually destroy these dangerous vehicles by going right up to them; they’d make the IRA proud.
