Eight Israeli soldiers were killed in an explosion in southern Gaza, marking the deadliest attack on Israeli forces in recent months.
The attack, which occurred during Israel's ongoing military operation in Gaza, has fueled calls for a cease-fire from Israeli protesters.
The explosion, which took place in Rafah, a Hamas stronghold, is believed to have been caused by either an explosive device or an anti-tank missile.
The incident comes amid a broader conflict that has seen over 37,000 Palestinian deaths and a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
