British IDF soldier dies in Gaza combat
A British - Israeli soldier, Sergeant Yisrael Natan Rosenfeld, 20, was killed in combat in northern Gaza. Sergeant Rosenfeld, from Ra'anana, was a member of the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion and reportedly died from an explosive device on Sunday. The UK Foreign Office is investigating reports of his British nationality, as he had moved to Israel from London 11 years ago. The conflict in Gaza, ongoing since October 7, 2023, has resulted in over 860 Israeli soldier deaths and more than 56,000 fatalities in Gaza, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Donald Trump urged progress in ceasefire talks, while Israeli officials are planning visits to Washington for negotiations, and Israel issued a new evacuation order for northern Gaza.

Jerusalem, June 30 (UNI) An Israeli soldier was killed in the northern Gaza Strip yesterday, the Israeli military said. In a statement, the military said Sergeant Yisrael Natan Rosenfeld, 20, of the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion of the 401st Brigade, "fell during combat." Israel's state-owned Kan TV reported that Rosenfeld was killed by an explosive device in Jabalia, in an area where the military had begun demolishing buildings in preparation for constructing outposts as part of a planned buffer zone in northern Gaza. Since the beginning of June, 21 Israeli soldiers have been killed in the Gaza Strip, bringing the military's death toll to 880 since October 2023, according to official figures. Earlier on June 29, Palestinian sources reported heavy bombardments in northern Gaza, with at least 88 people killed and 365 wounded in Israeli attacks, according to Gaza health authorities.

Meanwhile, Gaza health authorities said yesterday that the Palestinian death toll from Israeli military operations since October 2023 had risen to at least 56,500. UNI XINHUA ARN
