Regretfully, we have additional news of a 5th soldier being killed
in battle today. He was Sergeant Alexander Mashevizky, 21 of Be’er Sheva. Mashevizky was killed in the fighting in northern Gaza Tuesday morning and was a part of the Combat Engineering Corps.The most recent developments from the front include the Israeli bombing of three UN schools in Gaza, all of which were used to store explosives, hide terrorist operatives, and from which mortars were fired into Israel and/or into IDF positions within Gaza.
Before the IDF had an opportunity to describe the military action, the world had once again already gone berserk.
Here is one official statement regarding this incident:
Hamas Operatives Killed in UNRWA School
After an investigation that took place over the past hour it has been found that amongst the dead at the Jabalya school were Hamas terror operatives and a mortar battery cell who were firing on IDF forces in the area. Hamas operatives Imad Abu Askhar and Hassan Abu Askhar were amongst terrorists that were identified to be killed.
“We face a very delicate situation where the Hamas is using the citizens of Gaza as a protective vest,” IDF Spokesperson Brig. General Avi Benayahu said following the incident.
Rockets continue to pound the south, and reservists are readying for entry into Gaza, or God forbid, should a northern front open up, deployment there. The Home Command is readying both the Center of the country and the North for emergency procedure.
