As a result of shrapnel from the blast, four soldiers were injured.
Several minutes later, a second FPV drone exploded on a vehicle being used to evacuate the wounded troops, injuring a fifth soldier.
One soldier is listed in serious condition, two are moderately hurt, and two are in good condition. The IDF says they were all airlifted to a hospital and their families were notified.
