Five IDF Troops Killed; Call to Pray for the Wounded
Five Israeli soldiers were killed Monday, four in a mortar attack near the Gaza border, an IDF spokesman confirmed this evening. Six were wounded in the shelling, some critically, as Israel continued to bury its fallen soldiers throughout the day. The wounded were rushed to Israeli hospitals, where 122 combat troops were undergoing treatment for injuries sustained in the Gaza operation.
