He is now fully conscious, hospitalized in the general intensive care unit, and is expected to undergo additional surgeries in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Entered a Booby-Trapped Building<\/strong><br \/>\nAccording to Soroka\u2019s spokesperson, ten wounded soldiers were evacuated over the past week from the fighting in the Gaza Strip\u2014including the officer who was seriously injured during an operation carried out by the IDF\u2019s 98th Division.<br \/>\nThe incident took place on Friday morning, when a combat force entered a booby-trapped building in the city of Khan Younis as part of a clearing operation. The structure, which had previously been identified as suspicious, collapsed following a powerful explosion that caused the building to cave in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Four Soldiers Killed, Five Others Injured<\/strong><br \/>\nThe investigation indicates that the force acted in accordance with protocol, but the main explosive device was apparently planted on an upper floor of the multi-story building. The collapse killed four soldiers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sergeant Major (Res.)
