Two female combat soldiers serving in the 414th Battalion were seriously wounded in the incident in which CWO G’haleb Sliman Alnasasra was killed in Gaza on Saturday.

An additional tracker was seriously wounded in the incident. According to Walla, CWO Alnasasra fell while helping the wounded female soldiers.

The female company commander who was wounded had been wounded during the October 7 massacre and was subsequently forced to end her service. However, she returned to serve in her initial role before being wounded again on Saturday, according to Channel 12.

The wounded soldiers were evacuated to the hospital for further medical treatment.

The initial investigation indicates that the forces were operating near Beit Hanun in northern Gaza, conducting an administrative operation near the IDF’s stronghold.

There, they discovered a tunnel near the border fence and began efforts to destroy it. The military believes Hamas may have detected the forces working on the tunnel, which prompted the terrorists to ambush them.

At around 1 p.m., the terrorists likely emerged from an undiscovered tunnel shaft. They identified a force from Battalion 414 approaching a vehicle and fired an RPG at it.

Approximately half an hour later, a rescue team was dispatched to the scene, only to come under attack from an explosive device.
