Explosive Booby Trap that Killed 3 IDF Soldiers was in a Medical Clinic Inside UNWRA Complex

The IDF’s 12th Brigade entered a UNWRA complex after receving antitank fire coming from the complex. The complex housed a school, mosque and medical clinic.

While searching the complex, an explosive device in a booby-trapped shaft inside the civilian medical clinic detonated next to the soldiers. As a result of the explosion, three soldiers from the 50th Nahal Battalion, Staff Sergeant Amir Galilove, Staff Sergeant Uri Bar-Or, and Staff Sergeant Ido Appel, were killed.

During the operation, the soldiers located many weapons, grenades, and enemy uniforms. Inside the school’s classrooms, the forces located shafts leading to a complex tunnel system. Every use of the complex by Hamas for it’s military purposes is a war crime.

In the explosion, a combat officer and two other soldiers from the 50th Battalion were seriously injured. The injured were evacuated to receive medical treatment at a hospital and their families have been notified.
