STORYLINE:
Mourners grieved Wednesday during a funeral of an Israeli soldier who was killed during a military operation in the Gaza Strip.
Israel’s military said that seven soldiers had been killed the day before inside Gaza.
Staff Sergeant Ronel Ben-Moshe, 20, was one of the the soldiers killed on Tuesday when their armored vehicle was struck by an explosive, an Israeli military official said.
The soldier’s brother Ori Ben Moshe, also a soldier, told mourners that his brother worried about him more than himself, when he knew he was going to Gaza.
"You told me to take care of myself, and to be careful from (Improvised explosive devices) IEDs, you are the person closest to my heart," the brother said.
A military official, speaking on the condition of anonymity in line with military regulations, said that the seven were killed around 5 p.m. when an explosive affixed to their armored vehicle in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis detonated.
The military said another soldier was badly wounded Tuesday from RPG fire.
The incident was an unusually deadly one for Israel’s troops operating inside Gaza.
The military says over 860 soldiers have been killed since the war began with the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack — including more than 400 during fighting inside Gaza.
