An Israeli reservist soldier was killed in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, during an attack by Palestinian gunmen targeting troops stationed in the area. The soldier, Master Sgt. Yonah Efraim Feldbaum, was a heavy machinery operator from Neria. The attack involved rocket-propelled grenades and sniper fire, according to initial military investigations. The incident occurred in the Jenina neighborhood, which is under Israeli control as part of the ceasefire, but remains contested due to the presence of armed groups hiding in tunnels. Similar attacks have taken place recently, with Israel attributing responsibility to Hamas, though the group denies involvement.
