British-Israeli soldier killed while fighting in Gaza
Why you can trust Sky News A British-Israeli soldier has been killed while fighting in Gaza. He was named by the IDF as Sergeant Yisrael Natan Rosenfeld, 20, from the city of Ra'anana. Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis said he was "heartbroken" to learn of the death of the soldier, who grew up in Hendon, northwest London, before moving to Israel with his family. "We mourn his loss together with his parents, Avi and Sam, his family, and all who knew and loved him," he said in a post on X. "May his memory be for a blessing, and may we soon see the day when no more families will endure such sorrow." The IDF soldier, who served in the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion, was killed by an explosive device on Sunday, the Times of Israel reported. The paper said Mr Rosenfeld moved to Israel from London with his family 11 years ago. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said it is "looking into reports that an IDF soldier who died in combat in Gaza is a British national". More than 860 Israeli soldiers have been killed since Israel's war against Hamas began on 7 October 2023, more than 400 of them during the fighting in Gaza. The war began when the militant group launched an attack on Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking around 250 hostage. Israel's offensive in Gaza has devastated the enclave and killed around 56,500 people, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, which does not differentiate between civilians and combatants, but says more than half of the dead are women and children. It came as Donald Trump called for progress in ceasefire talks in the war between Israel and Hamas. "MAKE THE DEAL IN GAZA. GET THE HOSTAGES BACK!!!" the US president wrote on social media on Sunday. On Friday, Mr Trump raised expectations by claiming there could be an agreement within the next week.

Reports say dozens of Palestinians were killed across Gaza on Sunday alone, as the humanitarian situation continues to worsen. Despite ongoing talks for a ceasefire and hostage deal, daily violence and rising death tolls are fueling fears of a deeper crisis.#IDF #Israel #rosenfled #netanyahu #gazastrip #hamas

Israeli soldier killed in 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. The strikes came as the Israeli military issued new evacuation warnings, calling on residents of Gaza City and Jabalia to move immediately toward the al-Mawasi area. 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
