The Israel Defense Forces denied a Hamas claim that IDF soldiers were abducted in Gaza after a spokesman for Hamas’s military wing said fighters had ambushed Israeli troops in Jabalya, in northern Gaza.
The spokesman, who uses the name Abu Obaida, said in a statement the fighters lured Israeli troops into a tunnel, blew it up and “killed, wounded and captured” some of the soldiers. He did not say how many troops had been captured.
