Times of Israel reports:
“An IDF soldier was killed on Friday in northern Gaza, becoming the first military fatality since Israel launched a ground offensive in the Palestinian enclave Thursday night.
Sergeant Eitan Barak, 20, from Herzliya, was critically wounded during an operation against rocket launchers in the area of Beit Hanoun and died of his wounds before he could be evacuated. Four other soldiers were injured, one moderately and the rest lightly.
There were unconfirmed reports that Barak may have been killed in a friendly-fire incident, but the circumstances behind his death were not immediately clear.
“There were a number of events during the night,” military spokesman General Moti Almoz told Army Radio. “The incident in which a soldier was killed, we are checking the circumstances now and when we know them all, we shall release the findings.””
