From the Jerusalem Post:

Six soldiers of the Givati Brigade's engineering unit were killed instantly Tuesday morning, when terrorists detonated a large mine underneath their armored personnel carrier, setting off some 100 kilograms being carried inside.

The explosives were left over from an operation to demolish metal workshops used by terrorists to manufacture Kassam rockets and mortar shells in the Zeitun neighborhood of Gaza City.

The names of five of the casualties were released Tuesday night: Sgt.-Maj. Edron Amar, 20, of Eilat; Sgt. Eitan Newman, 21, of Ramot in Jerusalem; Aviad Deri, 21, of Ma'aleh Adumim, Kobi Mizrahi, 20, of Moshav Matta, St.-Sgt. Ofer Gerbi, 20, of Moshav Ben Zakai. The name of the sixth soldier, whose family lives abroad, was withheld pending their notification.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad both claimed responsibility for the attack and announced they are holding body parts of the dead soldiers, which were scattered hundreds of meters from the scene of the attack by the force of the blast. Officials from the terrorist organizations demanded to enter negotiations with Israel to exchange the body parts for Palestinian security prisoners incarcerated in Israel.

Israeli security officials said there are no plans to negotiate with the terrorists in order to retrieve the dead soldiers' remains, but have requested assistance from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

A spokesman for the ICRC confirmed that the request had been filed. "We contacted our office in Gaza, who are in touch with Palestinian organizations on the ground. We are not talking about negotiations, but a request from Israel that has been passed on. Their response will be handed over exclusively and covertly to Israel," he said.

Shortly after the attack Arab television stations al-Manar, al-Jazeera, al-Arabia, and Abu Dhabi, as well as foreign networks, broadcast footage of masked, armed Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists parading the streets of Gaza displaying body parts of the dead soldiers, their weapons, and pieces of the wrecked APC. Al-Jazeera showed Islamic Jihad members holding up the head of one of the soldiers. Israel Television Channel 1, rebroadcasting the footage, electronically obscured the head.

"Oh, but Palestinians have been killed, too!"

Get back to me when the Israelis parade their body parts down Tel Aviv's main street, and hold the bodies for ransom.
