Hamas militants clad in Israeli army uniform killed two Israeli
soldiers early Saturday during a surprise assault, repelling a major ground
offensive by IDF (Israel Defence Forces) yet again.

According to a Gaza-based news source, Hamas militants led by
Qassam Brigade launched a sophisticated attack Saturday morning as they crawled through a tunnel,
catching Israeli soldiers off guard. Militants, who wore army uniforms as a camouflage,
used machine guns and sniper rifles in the assault and crawled their way back
through the same tunnel safe and sound.
Fighting has picked up pace inside Gaza, and Hamas continued to shoot
off rockets into southern Israel as the war stretched into its 12th
day.
Israeli officials confirmed the death of at least two soldiers
as they announced their name on the media. The dead include a 45-year-old reservist
Amotz Greenberg and a 20-year-old Srg Adar Bersano.
The fresh attack and the death of two Israeli soldiers came as a
big surprise to war experts as Hamas fighters managed to slip into Israeli
territory and kill soldiers without getting caught in a serious confrontation.
