A British - Israeli soldier, Sergeant Yisrael Natan Rosenfeld, 20, was killed in combat in northern Gaza. Sergeant Rosenfeld, from Ra'anana, was a member of the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion and reportedly died from an explosive device on Sunday. The UK Foreign Office is investigating reports of his British nationality, as he had moved to Israel from London 11 years ago. The conflict in Gaza, ongoing since October 7, 2023, has resulted in over 860 Israeli soldier deaths and more than 56,000 fatalities in Gaza, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Donald Trump urged progress in ceasefire talks, while Israeli officials are planning visits to Washington for negotiations, and Israel issued a new evacuation order for northern Gaza.
