Gaza, MINA – Another Israeli soldier died from fighting in the Gaza Strip, the military said on Sunday, Anadolu Agency reports.
A military statement said Staff Sergeant Betzalel Zvi Kovach, 20, a soldier in the Netzah Yehuda Battalion, succumbed to his critical injuries from clashes in the northern city of Beit Hanoun last Wednesday.
His death brought to 635 the number of Israeli soldiers killed since the outbreak of the Gaza conflict since Oct. 7, 2023, according to official military figures.
Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since last October despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.
