India, June 7 -- At least four Israeli soldiers died and five others were wounded after an explosion rocked a building in southern Gaza's Khan Younis on Friday.

The explosion occurred amid the Israel Defense Forces' ongoing offensive against the Hamas terror group.

Two of the slain soldiers are named as: Sgt. Maj. (res.) Chen Gross, 33, of the Maglan commando unit, from Gan Yoshiya, and Staff Sgt. Yoav Raver, 19, of the Yahalom combat engineering unit, from Sde Warburg, reported The Times of Israel.

The IDF said the identities of the two other soldiers will be released later in the day.

In its initial probe, IDF found that the soldiers had entered the building to clear it of possible terror infrastructure.
