Two Israeli reservists killed by explosion while inspecting crashed drone in northern Gaza
Two Israeli reservists, identified as Reserve Sergeant Major Moalem and Reserve Sergeant Major Kelly from the 7007th Battalion of the 16th Brigade, were killed by an explosion while inspecting a crashed military drone at an outpost in the northern Gaza Strip. The soldiers were evacuated to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon, where they were pronounced dead. An initial investigation indicates the device was a standard-issue drone on a pre-approved operational mission before it crashed and detonated; reasons remain under investigation.
