British Israeli soldier killed in Gaza, reports say
He was named locally as 20-year-old Sergeant Yisrael Natan Rosenfeld from the city of Ra'anana.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said it is 'looking into reports that an IDF soldier who died in combat in Gaza is a British national'.
The IDF soldier, of the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion, was killed by an explosive device on Sunday, the Times of Israel reported.
The paper said Mr Rosenfeld moved to Israel from London with his family 11 years ago.
Israel has been operating in Gaza since the Hamas militant group's October 7 2023 attack on Israel.
More than 860 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the war began, including more than 400 during the fighting in Gaza.
US-led ceasefire efforts have repeatedly stalled.
The Israeli offensive has devastated Gaza and killed more than 56,000 people, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, a branch of the Hamas government.
The death toll is by far the highest in any round of Israeli-Palestinian fighting.

Israel-Gaza war live: Israeli forces kill 23, Gaza authorities say, amid IDF warning of major offensive in north
Update: Date: 2025-06-30T06:39:58.000Z Title: Opening summary Content: Israeli airstrikes and gunfire killed 23 people in Gaza on Sunday, the territory's civil defence agency said, as tens of thousands of Palestinian people were fleeing eastern parts of Gaza City after Israel warned of a major assault on the north. Agency spokesperson Mahmud Bassal said at least three children were among those killed in airstrikes at five locations around Gaza and another person died from Israeli fire near an aid distribution centre. On Gaza City in the north, messages on social media from the Israel Defense Forces warned of 'military operations [that] will escalate, intensify and extend westward to the city centre' and directed those living in several crowded neighbourhoods to al-Mawasi, a coastal area much farther south that is already overcrowded and has very limited facilities. Witnesses described scenes of chaos as entire families tried to pack their remaining belongings, tents and meagre stocks of foods on to donkey carts, bicycles, improvised pickup trucks and cars, my colleague Jason Burke reports. In other developments: Mahmud Bassal said two children were killed in an airstrike on their home in Gaza City's Zeitun neighbourhood early on Sunday and 'the house was completely destroyed'. A member of the family, Abdel Rahman Azzam, 45, told AFP he was at home and 'heard a huge explosion at my relative's house'. 'I rushed out in panic and saw the house destroyed and on fire.' Bassal said a drone strike on a tent housing displaced people near the southern city of Khan Younis killed five people including a child. Other casualties included a young man killed 'by Israeli fire this morning while waiting for aid' near a humanitarian distribution centre in the southern city of Rafah, the Gaza civil defence spokesperson said. Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said on Sunday his country's 'victory' over Iran in their 12-day war had created 'opportunities', including for freeing hostages held in Gaza. The main group representing hostages' families welcomed 'the fact that after 20 months, the return of the hostages has finally been designated as the top priority by the prime minister'. Donald Trump reiterated calls for a swift end to Israel's war on Gaza. 'Make the deal in Gaza, get the hostages back,' the US president posted on his Truth Social platform. Indirect talks between Israel and Hamas, brokered by Qatar and Egypt, are continuing but without clear sign of a breakthrough.

The revelation that around 6 per cent of messages on X supporting the SNP and attacking England and the English suddenly stopped after an Israeli attack on Iran's communications infrastructure is telling. I was recently commenting on a YouTube video when I realised that the majority of other comments supportive of the separatists had a very familiar ring to them. There was something rather derivative about them. My reaction was to comment that I was probably one of the few real people commenting and that the rest were probably Russian bots. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The news about the Iranian bots shows we must expect at least the same proportion of the pro-separatist comments on such media sites to be from Russian, Chinese and North Korean bots. We know all these hostile forces know that what is bad for the United Kingdom and Scotland is good for them. Scottish independence marchers in Glasgow - not one of them a bot from foreign shores (Picture: Andy Buchanan/AFP) It is something that Scottish nationalists should consider when they wish to make Scotland "independent". The Axis of Evil would like nothing better than for them to achieve their aim. That would weaken one of the main bulwarks upon which the freedoms of the democratic West relies, namely a strong United Kingdom. The freedom of all of us depends upon a strong UK. There are no broad, sunlit uplands to Scottish independence, only weakness and subjugation. Peter Hopkins, Edinburgh Toxic talk Carbon dioxide (CO2), an essential 'ingredient' in plant and crop growth and metabolism, has become villainised, on flimsy evidence, as a 'toxin' promoting adverse climate changes. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad In fact its impact on local and global weather patterns is very slight. Victims of the huge African emission recalled by Professor Hugh Pennington (Letters, 28 June) were asphyxiated, as in drowning, by hypoxia, not poisoned by an excess of CO2. As H Douglas Lightfoot points out (Letters, 27 June), net zero-style attempts to deplete atmospheric CO2 are not only ruinously costly but also totally illogical and impractical. Charles Wardrop, Perth Cue problems Instead of making cuts to disability and sickness benefits for all existing and future claimants, Sir Keir Starmer's U-turn means the cuts only apply to new, not existing, claimants. So stand by for another wave of Waspi and two-child benefit-style campaigns to restore payments to people who no longer qualify for the benefits, backed by virtue-signalling politicians who try to win votes and con the public by saying they'd 'like' to restore the benefits when in fact they have no intention of doing so because it's unaffordable. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad In opposition Labour were the worst culprits of this cynical virtue-signalling so they may be getting a taste of their own medicine – in many cases from within their own ranks. Allan Sutherland, Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire Tax take When it comes to raising taxes, politicians, mainly on the left, try to strike a balance between assuming the moral high ground and raising as much extra income as possible. To their dismay, the Scottish Government is finding out that their 'progressive' income tax policy is not raising the desired extra revenue, or indeed, producing the desired economic growth. Certainly it would be interesting to see Scottish Government estimates of forecast extra income tax revenue versus that which has actually been achieved. I suspect, though, that it would need an FOI request to release this information. Turning to the forthcoming UK budget, Chancellor Rachel Reeves may well find the same problem in that many of her target areas for tax hikes, for example Inheritance Tax, Capital Gains Tax, non-doms etc can be (partially) circumvented, and not yield the desired extra revenues. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad One area, though, where there is a little room for manoeuvre (by the taxpayer) is fuel duty and vehicle excise duty. Expect the motorist to be hit hard in the name of net zero, though maximising the tax take would be closer to the truth. Political naivety in understanding the law of unintended consequences is often in short supply when introducing new tax measures and I don't expect any change in the forthcoming UK and Scottish budgets. Alastair Neilson, Edinburgh Soft soaping It's useful to think back, at this time, as far back as 1956, when, in the Suez Crisis, the UK realised it was no longer a major power. President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt nationalised the Suez Canal, having failed to get US and international backing for the building of the Aswan Dam. Britain and France colluded secretly with Israel to seize and control the canal, but the military operation was a total failure, and Anthony Eden's government fell. The US and UN had given no backing to the project, and there followed financial crisis and fuel shortages for the UK. The EU and 'coalition of the willing' are in a similar position of weakness in the worthy aim of assisting Ukraine, which explains the fawning sycophancy of Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte in trying to woo Donald Trump back into Nato and backing Ukraine. Never mind also the small matter of having probably not managed to eliminate Iran's nuclear ambitions. Rutte is fully aware that Trump is an unreliable, erratic criminal President bent on destroying democracy in his own country. But he has to try the soft-soaping anyway.

Pension fund divestment would send strong signal
Palestinian youth and children are seen at a tent camp set up amid war-damaged infrastructure in Gaza City (Picture: AP Photo/Jehad Alshrafi) Like many people, I have watched events unfolding in Gaza with horror and a feeling of powerlessness. The attack by Hamas on Israel in October 2023, the murder of 815 civilians and taking of 251 hostages, rightly received global condemnation.

Since then, an independent UK estimate puts the number of deaths in Gaza as exceeding 70,000 people, the majority of these being women, children and the elderly. Most recently we have seen shocking scenes of hundreds of people being killed as they desperately try to reach food aid supplies – a war crime according to the United Nations. Our influence here in Edinburgh is limited, but one of the ways that opposition could be demonstrated is through the Lothian Pension Fund that provides pensions for council employees and many other organisations including VisitScotland, Lothian Buses and Scottish Homes. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Last year a report to Edinburgh City Council's Pensions Committee, that oversees the Lothian Pension Fund, showed that there is around £167 million invested in three companies implicated in supplying the Israeli military and government with weapons and infrastructure. So on Wednesday I brought a proposal to the Pensions Committee paving the way for the removal of the investments from these companies. Of course divestment from these companies wouldn't in itself end the Gaza war but it would send a strong signal to these companies that their involvement in supporting the Israeli military needs to stop. A signal that will grow stronger as more and more investors around the world take the same action. Disappointingly this proposal was defeated by four votes to two, with one abstention, in favour of a proposal by Councillor Neil Ross, that it isn't the Pension Committee's place to decide whether the fund should invest in these companies. There were also views expressed that a relatively small divestment of shares by the pension fund wouldn't make any difference. We may not be able to do much directly about what's happening in Gaza, but surely we should be doing all that we can, however small, in hope that it makes a contribution.
