The Israeli military said the soldiers, aged 24 and 25, were reservists and both were killed in fighting in southern Gaza on Monday, Al Jazeera reports.

The military also said that two soldiers from Israel’s 82nd Battalion and an officer from the 75th Battalion were also injured in fighting in southern Gaza, while another was injured in the north of the Gaza Strip.

The wounded were evacuated to receive medical treatment in a hospital in Israel, the military said.

About 160 Israeli soldiers have now been killed since the ground invasion of Gaza began two months ago.
