The IDF announces the death of a soldier killed during fighting in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood on Friday.
He is named as Staff Sgt. Ariel Tsym, 20, of the Nahal Brigade’s 931st Battalion, from Modiin.
Tsym was killed during a gun battle with Hamas operatives in Zeitoun, according to an initial IDF probe. The incident took place not long after four troops were killed by an explosive device in the same area.
His death brings the toll of slain troops in the IDF’s ground offensive in Gaza and amid operations on the border to 272.
