An IDF reservist soldier was killed in a Hamas sniper attack in Gaza City Thursday afternoon, the military announces.
The slain soldier is named as Sgt. First Class (res.) Michael Mordechai Nachmani, 26, a Technology and Maintenance Corps soldier in the 614th Combat Engineering Battalion, from Dimona.
The sniper attack came after Israeli and Hamas negotiators signed a deal in Egypt to secure the release of all the hostages held by the terror group in Gaza. A ceasefire as part of the deal had not yet taken effect when the attack was carried out.
