Six soldiers were injured when Israeli tanks were hit by anti-tank missiles outside Gaza City, late on Wednesday. They were later transferred to hospitals.
Meanwhile, six other soldiers were wounded when a wall collapsed in northern Gaza City, while, five more Israeli forces sustained injuries in a gun battle with Hamas fighters.
The commander of the Paratroopers 101st Battalion, Lt. Col. Avi Balut, was one of the officers wounded in the gun battle, Haaretz reported.
The news comes as the latest Israeli air strikes across the beleaguered Gaza Strip, left at least 13 more Palestinians killed.
At least 1,038 people including 312 children have been killed and more than 4,700 others wounded since Israel started its Operation Cast Lead on December 27.
