Two Israeli occupation soldiers were killed and eight others injured after a crane collapsed in the northern Gaza Strip on Thursday.

The Israeli occupation military announced the accident, stating that one of the deceased was a lieutenant colonel serving in the reserves with the 51st Battalion of the Golani Brigade.

According to the official Israeli Broadcasting Authority, the crane collapsed due to strong winds and fell on a tent where the occupation soldiers were stationed. The military said it is investigating the “serious incident that reflects a lack of preparedness for weather conditions.”

This incident comes as the Gaza Strip and nearby areas are experiencing a low-pressure system accompanied by rain and strong winds.
