Gaza war: Israel says death toll of soldiers has risen to 17

Israel's military reports another soldier's death in northern Gaza, making the total 17 soldiers killed since the ground operations were expanded last Friday. Military officials declared Wednesday that Israeli forces had breached Hamas's first line of defence and were approaching Gaza City, saying the deaths of 16 soldiers this week in and near Gaza were a “heavy price.” On Thursday morning, the death of a 17th soldier was announced.
