Ansarollah Website - Palestine - Muharram 20, 1447 AH

The Hebrew newspaper Maariv reported today, Tuesday, that the three soldiers whose deaths the army announced in Jabalia yesterday were killed inside a Merkava Mark 4 tank, considered "the best and most powerful tank in the world in terms of protection."

The Israeli enemy army announced yesterday the deaths of soldiers Shoham Menachem, Shlomo Sharm, and Yuli Factor of the 52nd Armored Battalion in battles in the northern Gaza Strip.

According to Avi Ashkenazi, the military correspondent for the Hebrew newspaper Maariv, the army did not know until this morning whether the tank was targeted by an anti-tank missile or whether an explosive device detonated underneath it.

The newspaper said: "The best and most protected tank in the world was severely damaged on Monday in Jabalia, north of the Gaza Strip. It is unknown what weapon hit the tank—a missile or a hand grenade."

The newspaper reported: "The army has become mired in the Gaza quagmire, and its leadership is afraid to present the facts at the political level."
