Two IDF soldiers were killed in the southern Gaza Strip yesterday, the military announces.
One of the slain troops is named as Maj. (res.) Moshiko (Maxim) Rozenwald, 35, a company commander in the Combat Engineering Corps’ 7107th Battalion, from Modiin.
The IDF says the name of the second soldier will be released later.
According to an initial IDF probe, the two soldiers were killed and two others were moderately wounded after a building they were in, in the Rafah area, collapsed. The building apparently collapsed because it was already heavily damaged. No explosives or a Hamas booby-trap were identified in the area, the probe has found.
