An “Israeli” UH-60 Black Hawk crashed in south Gaza, Rafah early Wednesday, in what the “Israeli” Air Force said was an “accident”

The crash killed two soldiers, and left seven in intensive care units after undergoing surgeries – according to a statement by the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba cited by Hebrew media.

The crash came after the aircraft tried to evacuate an injured soldier who was seriously wounded in fighting in the same area.

Another soldier is in moderate condition, raising the toll of injured soldiers to eight.
