Two Israeli reserve soldiers were killed in a drone-related incident in Gaza, according to the Israeli military. The explosion involved an Israeli army drone, which crashed and exploded inside an outpost in northern Gaza, the IDF confirmed. The incident is currently under investigation.
The Israeli military stated that the drone was operating in the area when it malfunctioned, leading to the explosion. The two soldiers were identified as reservists, and their deaths have prompted an internal review of operational procedures. The event has intensified discussions about security measures in the region.
Meanwhile, international reactions have grown more pronounced. World leaders, including Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin, have called for a shift in Israeli policy toward Palestinians, citing the humanitarian impact of ongoing actions in Gaza. Martin warned that the full truth of the situation could shame the global community.
At the United Nations, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s actions, dismissing claims of genocide as "the biggest lie of the century." His speech also included direct confrontations with critics, including New York’s mayor, whom he accused of spreading false information.
