Gaza Fighting's Latest Toll: 60 Palestinians, 13 Israeli Soldiers Dead -- CNN
Gaza City (CNN) -- Thirteen Israeli troops were killed overnight in Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces said Sunday.
The IDF did not immediately give details.
Hamas said it lured Israeli tanks into a Gaza field in which it had hidden improvised explosive devices, and "destroyed the force completely."
In a statement, Hamas claimed "responsibility for this heroic operation on the doorsteps of Gaza."
It was Israel's biggest death toll in the current fighting, bringing the total killed to 18 soldiers and two civilians.
Among Palestinians, the death toll has soared past 400.
Hundreds fled in panic into Gaza City on Sunday as Israeli troops focused their firepower on the nearby town of Shaja'ia. The shelling and bombing killed at least 60 people and wounded 300, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
