Multiple IDF soldiers have reportedly lost their lives in Gaza tonight, after a military helicopter they were aboard crashed. Initial report state that three soldiers – none of whom have yet been identified – were killed in the wreckage, and another eight were injured, including four in serious condition. It was not immediately clear what caused the helicopter to crash. Early suspicions center around a mechanical malfunction or pilot error, although terrorists attacking the helicopter has not been officially ruled out as a cause by the IDF. Thus far, the IDF has not publicly acknowledged the crash, nor any fatalities. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
