Israel-Hamas conflict: 21 Israeli soldiers killed in Gaza

The Israeli army says 21 of its soldiers have been killed in the deadliest attack on its troops since the conflict in Gaza began.

A military spokesperson said the soldiers were preparing explosives to demolish two buildings when a militant fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a tank nearby, setting off the explosion prematurely and causing the buildings to collapse on the troops.

At least 25,295 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli military campaign in Gaza since the 7 October attacks by Hamas that killed 1,300 people.
