An Israeli army officer has been killed and a soldier wounded by Hamas as the Israeli offensive into Gaza enters its 13th day.
The Israeli army officer from Kfir Infantry Brigade was killed Thursday after Hamas fighters hit a tank with an anti-tank missile while on patrol in the former Neztarim settlement, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported.
This is reportedly the first time that Hamas uses anti-tank missiles since Tel Aviv kicked off Operation Cast Lead.
According to Israeli officials, the latest death brings the Israeli military casualties to at least seven.
Hamas, however, has put at 27 the number of Israelis killed since Tel Aviv launched its ground incursion into the populated region on Saturday.
The military intensified attacks on the territory late Wednesday, striking at least 60 Hamas targets across the region over the night.
According to Palestinian sources more than 20 air strikes hit around Gaza City before dawn Thursday.
Earlier in the day, three Palestinian fighters from the Islamic Jihad were killed and two others were wounded in one of the air raids.
The 13-day-old military campaign has so far claimed more than 710 Gazan lives and has left at least 3,100 others wounded. According to Palestinian medics, most of the victims are women and children.
