An Israeli soldier was killed by a grenade explosion early Saturday morning in the northern Gaza Strip, the IDF announces.
The Military Police has launched an investigation into the circumstances of the deadly incident, which was apparently not directly related to the fighting.
The IDF does not announce the soldier’s identity. He is named by local authorities as Shneur Zalman Cohen, 20, from the West Bank settlement of Yitzhar.
