During fierce fighting on Monday night (Jan. 5) by Golani Brigade combat
soldiers against Hamas operatives in the northern Gaza Strip, two soldiers
and an officer were killed. This was the result of an IDF artillery shell
firing erroneously and hitting the structure where the soldiers were located.
