British-Israeli soldier killed in Gaza
A British-Israeli soldier has been killed by an explosive device in Gaza, according to reports. Sgt Yisrael Natan Rosenfeld, 20, died in the Kafr Jabalia area of the Gaza Strip on Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said. He moved to Israel with his family 12 years ago and is believed to be the third British-Israeli soldier killed since the conflict began two years ago. Binyamin Needham, 19, was killed in December 2023 after serving for two days in Gaza while Nathanel Young, 20, was killed in February last year. A family friend told Haaretz newspaper that he was 'just a lovely, sweet boy who was always smiling'. She added: 'Today our sweet Nathan was taken from us and he is young, very young; this has to stop. Get the soldiers out of there and get the hostages out. Enough… my heart is broken.' Mahmud Bassal, Gaza civil defence spokesman, told AFP that the day's toll had risen to 34 people killed in various locations around the Gaza Strip, including at least four children. The Israeli military told AFP it was not able to comment on reported strikes but said it was fighting 'to dismantle Hamas military capabilities'. 'Screams of children were non-stop' Mr Bassal said two children were killed in an air strike on their home in Gaza City's Zeitun district in the early morning. A family member, Abdel Rahman Azzam, 45, told AFP he was at home when he 'heard a huge explosion at my relative's house'. 'I rushed out in panic and saw the house destroyed and on fire,' he added. 'We evacuated more than 20 injured people, including two martyrs – two children from the family. The screams of children and women were non-stop,' Mr Azzam said. 'They bombed the house with a missile without any prior warning. This is a horrific crime. We sleep without knowing if we will wake up.' Restrictions on media in Gaza and difficulties in accessing many areas mean AFP is unable to independently verify the full tolls and details provided by rescuers. Elsewhere, Mr Bassal said a drone strike on a tent camp housing displaced people near the southern city of Khan Yunis killed five people, including two children. An AFP journalist filmed people carrying victims from that strike into the Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis and families mourning over five bodies. 'We were sleeping and I woke up as if I was electrocuted and my children started screaming,' said one of the bereaved relatives at the hospital, Iman Abu Marouf, 35. She said two of her children, aged 10 and 13, were killed in the strike.
