Two female IDF soldiers, Major Nurit and Linor, each had a leg amputated after an RPG attack in Gaza severely wounded them.

In the same operation during which Command Sergeant Major G’haleb Sliman Alnasasra was killed and two other soldiers were wounded, terrorists emerged from a tunnel. They fired an RPG at a vehicle carrying combat intelligence soldiers from the northern brigade.

Three female soldiers were severely wounded in the attack and transported by helicopters to Israeli hospitals.

A few minutes later, troops led by a northern brigade commander, along with their reconnaissance scouts, were moving along a designated administrative route departing from the Beit Hanoun outpost to assist with the rescue efforts. They ran over an explosive that was positioned near a tunnel shaft, and the blast killed Command Sergeant Major Alnasasra and wounded two others.

Alnasasra’s death marked the first time since the end of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire that a member of the IDF was killed in action. The Bedouin-Israeli, a native of Rahat, leaves behind a wife and three children.

Alnasara’s family is well-established in Rahat, with many of its members having served in the Israeli military, a relative told Hebrew-language outlet Ynet.
