The IDF announces the death of another soldier killed during fighting in the southern Gaza Strip over the weekend, bringing the toll of slain troops in the ground offensive against Hamas to 240.

He is named as Staff Sgt. Ido Eli Zrihen, 20, of the Givati Brigade’s reconnaissance unit, from Jerusalem.

Earlier, the IDF announced the death of Staff Sgt. Nerya Belete — also of the Givati reconnaissance unit — who was killed in southern Gaza yesterday.
