IDF will have ‘complete freedom of action’ in Gaza after war has ended, Israel’s defence minister Israel Katz said

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Tuesday that two soldiers were killed during combat in southern Gaza.

It said reservist Major Moshiko Maxim Rozenwald, 35, was a company commander in an engineering battalion of the Nahal Brigade. The IDF says the name of the second soldier will be released later.

We are ready to reopen our delegation, which is the European embassy, and we want this to be fully operational again. I think this is a very important step, that we will reopen the delegation in Syria.
