Four Israeli soldiers were killed and five others were injured on Friday morning in an explosion at a building in the Bani Suheila neighborhood of Khan Younis, southern Gaza, the Times of Israel reported, citing the Israeli army.
The building was booby-trapped, and the explosion caused the structure to collapse on the soldiers, the Zionist army was quoted as saying.
The military identified two of the slain soldiers as Sgt. Maj. (res.) Chen Gross, 33, of the Maglan commando unit and Staff Sgt. Yoav Raver, 19, of the Yahalom combat engineering unit.
The names of the other two soldiers will be released later. Five soldiers were severely and moderately wounded in an explosion that caused a building collapse in Khan Younis, the daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported, citing the army.
It added that among the five, a Maglan officer was severely wounded and four additional soldiers were moderately wounded.
The Israeli army is facing growing logistical and mechanical challenges amid the prolonged war in Gaza, with mounting technical failures affecting its tanks, armored vehicles, and weapons, according to Israeli media reports on Friday, Anadolu reports.
The daily Maariv quoted soldiers, company and battalion commanders, and senior officers as saying that military units operating in Gaza are increasingly hampered by worn-out equipment and a lack of spare parts.
The 7th Armored Brigade reported Thursday serious difficulties in securing tank spare parts, Maariv reported. Key components like engines, tracks, and control systems are being depleted from the army’s stocks, while other parts are simply unavailable.
A senior officer from the brigade, who was not named, told the daily: We have been in a state of war for nearly two years in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, and now again in Gaza. The vehicles are deteriorating rapidly, constantly moving from one mission to another.
No one was prepared for the possibility of such a long war. Every component has a lifespan, and we are reaching those limits.
The issue, Maariv noted, is not isolated to the 7th Brigade but affects all regular army units, including armored, artillery, and infantry divisions.
The soldiers died protecting the patchwork of agendas that hold the Netanyahu government in power. No captives will be freed, no resistance fighters will surrender.
But the soldiers plunge into genocide and war crimes and die and continue dying for the sake of Netanyahu, even as their weapons and war machines fail and fall apart.
Neither they nor anyone nor anything else counts, only Netanyahu. It’s that simple. It’s now Israel’s never-ending karmic nightmare.

The soldiers died protecting the patchwork of agendas that hold the Netanyahu government in power. No captives will be freed, no resistance fighters will surrender.
But the soldiers plunge into genocide and war crimes and die and continue dying for the sake of Netanyahu, even as their weapons and war machines fail and fall apart.
Neither they nor anyone nor anything else counts, only Netanyahu. It’s that simple. It’s now Israel’s never-ending karmic nightmare.
With all of their equipment, firepower and manpower, these devils will never win–because they are off THE DEVIL–which is why we have the world we have and Christ will put right with His Coming.
These equipment failures are just the tip of the iceberg – or the mouth of the tunnel, so to speak. The Infant Death Force is being bled dry – literally. No only are they suffering from a crisis of military supplies, including the woman’s lingerie and thongs they love to prance around in, they are being outmatched by the skillful and dedicated fighters of Hamas who are much more highly motivated to fight than the Israelis and who are inflicting severe casualties on them every day. We are witnessing the collapse of the Apartheid State’s military power and the implosion… Read more »
