2 IDF soldiers, 80 Palestinians dead

Haaretz

At least 29 Gaza civilians, including 5 children, among dead

Two Israel Defense Forces soldiers and at least 61 Palestinians, including at least 29 civilians, were killed on Saturday in an ongoing IDF ground incursion near the northern Gaza Strip town of Jabaliya.

Sergeants Eran Dan-Gur, 20, of Jerusalem, and Doron Asulin, 20, of Be'er Sheva, were killed by Palestinian gunfire in two separate incidents early Saturday morning. They both served in the Givati Brigade and were posthumously raised in rank to staff sergeant.

Some 80 Gazans have been killed in IDF raids since Wednesday.
