JERUSALEM/ANKARA (AA) – Two Israeli soldiers were injured Friday after an anti-tank missile struck a tank in the northern Gaza Strip, according to the Israeli Army Radio.

The radio said one soldier sustained moderate injuries and the other was lightly wounded. It did not provide further details on the incident.

Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023, killing nearly 57,800 Palestinians so far, most of them women and children. The relentless bombardment has destroyed the enclave and led to food shortages and a spread of disease.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
