Footage shows explosion that reportedly killed 21 Israeli soldiers in Gaza

Twenty-four Israeli soldiers were killed in Gaza on Monday when two buildings they had mined for demolition collapsed. An Israeli military spokesperson said the soldiers were killed in Maghazi refugee camp after militants fired grenades at a nearby tank, causing the buildings to collapse. Reports in local media said explosives set by the soldiers detonated prematurely. The deaths came amid fierce fighting around the key southern city of Khan Younis, with dozens of Palestinians killed and wounded. The Israeli deaths are likely to increase domestic pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu over his leadership and handling of the war effort
