The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) lost two soldiers during combat in northern Gaza, raising the ground toll in the offensive against Hamas to 242. The IDF said another seven soldiers of the Tzabar Battalion were also seriously wounded in the same incident. Palestinian fighters claimed to have carried out 16 attacks on Israeli forces, including one involving a missile from an F-16 jet that was rigged as an improvised explosive device. At least 576,000 people in the Gaza Strip or one-quarter of the population are just a step away from famine, a top UN aid official told the Security Council. IDF tanks have unintentionally fired into Israeli territory on at least five occasions since the beginning of the war, according to Haaretz.
