The Israeli army announced that an Israeli soldier was killed in the Gaza Strip, Agence France-Presse reported, quoted by BTA.
The victim was Yona Ephraim Feldbaum, 37. He died during fighting in southern Gaza, the Israeli army said in a statement after carrying out airstrikes on the Palestinian territory.
Israel accused „Hamas“ of violating the ceasefire in the enclave and said it carried out the strikes in response to the violation. „Hamas“ denies violating the ceasefire.
The strikes killed 38 people in Gaza, according to a spokesman for the Palestinian Civil Defense, which operates under the command of “Hamas“.
