A third soldier was seriously wounded in the same incident and was taken to a hospital for immediate treatment.

Netanyahu orders ‘forceful response’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has since ordered a “forceful response” on the terror group, including the closure of all crossings into Gaza and the halt of humanitarian aid into the Strip.

Israel had notified the US of its strike in advance. The Americans urged Israel to “respond proportionately but show restraint,” a US official told Axios, adding that “Nobody wants to go back to full-scale war. The Israelis want to show Hamas there are consequences, without ruining the peace agreement.”

Following these incidents, the IDF marked the Yellow Line, where Israeli troops had withdrawn to, with 3.5-meter-tall signposts.
