One IDF soldier killed by friendly fire

One of the seven soldiers killed in Gaza in the past day died by friendly fire, and two were killed in Shejaiya when an antitank missile was fired into the building in which they took cover at around 4:30 a.m.

The other four died in a Hamas ambush on IDF troops near Kibbutz Nir Am shortly afterwards. The Hamas gunmen fired an antitank missile at the jeep they were riding in and all four were killed.

The names of six of the seven fatalities haven’t yet been released. Yuval Dagan, the one named fatality, was laid to rest in Kfar Saba Monday night.
