Five Israeli soldiers were killed by tank shelling, a manslaughter incident occurred in the Israeli army
The Israel Defense Forces issued a statement on the 16th saying that a manslaughter incident by an Israeli tank occurred in the Jebaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip on the 15th, resulting in the death of 5 Israeli soldiers and the injury of 7 soldiers.
Since the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has been postponed for more than seven months, the Israeli army has experienced numerous accidental killings and accidental injuries.
An Israeli military statement said the incident occurred in the Jebaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip and that the five people killed were paratroopers. According to the "Times of Israel" report, around 19:00 local time on the 15th, this paratrooper unit assembled in a building. Tank troops deployed nearby that were supposed to cooperate with the paratroopers found "a gun barrel sticking out of the window" in the building, thinking it was an enemy weapon, and then shelled the building, causing casualties this time.

In fact, at the end of April, a similar incident occurred in the Israeli army. The Times of Israel quoted an IDF investigation report on April 30 as saying that on April 28, two Israeli army reservists were accidentally killed. At that time, an Israeli force was ambushed by Hamas while crossing a key route in Gaza. During the exchange of fire, an Israeli tank fired a shell into an area designated as a restricted area by the IDF commander. The shell hit a building and killed two Israeli reservists from another Israeli unit who were taking shelter there. People died.
On January 10 this year, an investigation released by the Israel Defense Forces showed that six Israeli soldiers were killed in an explosion in the Gaza Strip on January 8. The reason was that Israeli tank shelling accidentally detonated explosives used to destroy tunnels, killing their own soldiers by mistake.
The Times of Israel reported, citing data from the Israeli military, that 279 Israeli soldiers have died in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict for more than seven months, of which at least 50 died due to "accidental fire" or other accidents.
