IDF names two other soldiers killed in booby-trapped Gaza building on Friday

[IsraelTimes] The military on Saturday named two more soldiers killed in Friday’s building explosion in the southern Gaza Strip, during which four in total were killed and five were injured.

The slain soldiers were Sgt. First Class Tom Rotstein, 23, from Ramat Gan, and Staff Sgt. Uri Yhonatan Cohen, 20, from Neve Yarak. Both served in the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit.

On Friday, the army announced the names of Sgt. Maj. (res.) Chen Gross and Staff Sgt. Yoav Raver, both were killed in the incident.

According to the IDF, the soldiers entered the building in Khan Younis to clear it of possible terror infrastructure, including tunnels.

The building was booby-trapped, and the explosion caused the structure to collapse on the soldiers, killing four and wounding five others, including one seriously.

The incident took place shortly after 6 a.m. in the Khan Younis suburb of Bani Suheila.

Hamas took responsibility for the attack.
