The terrorist fired an RPG \u2064at \u2063a\u2063 tank\u200b protecting \u2064the soldiers, resulting in the death of two soldiers and injury of two others.\u200c Another RPG blast potentially triggered an explosion, causing the buildings to \u200dcollapse with \u2063the soldiers trapped inside.<\/p>\n<p>Since the\u200c horrific\u200c Hamas massacre\u2062 on October 7, which claimed the lives of 1,200 Israelis, a staggering 556 Israeli soldiers have been\u2064 killed.
