Hamas claimed in an official statement on Motzoei Shabbos that it managed to lure soldiers into a tunnel in Jabalia, a city in Gaza, where terrorists killed them and took their bodies.
However, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit issued a statement after midnight, clarifying, “The IDF clarifies that there is no incident in which a soldier was abducted.”
Earlier, the IDF announced that a reserve soldier from Battalion 6828 of the Bislach Brigade (828) was seriously injured during a battle in northern Gaza.
“The soldier was evacuated to a hospital for medical treatment, and his family has been notified,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit stated.
