Israeli soldiers killed in deadliest day of war

On Tuesday, 24 Israeli soldiers were killed in Israel's deadliest day of war. One explosion caused by a Hamas militant using an RPG destroyed an Israeli tank and resulted in the death of 21 soldiers. Three additional soldiers, including two majors and a captain, were killed in a separate incident. Israel is currently focusing its war efforts on southern Gaza, with the IDF reporting significant progress in the city of Khan Yunus, described as a Hamas stronghold. Despite pressure from the U.S. and the EU, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirms his opposition to a two-state solution, citing concerns about its impact on Israel's existence.
