Five Israeli soldiers were killed by mortar fire near the Gaza border late Thursday, the army said in a statement.
The latest deaths, just hours ahead of an agreed ceasefire, put the Israeli military toll at 61 soldiers since the start of the hostilities.
"IDF (Israeli army) confirms that yesterday evening (Thursday) 5 IDF soldiers were killed during operational activity along the border with the Gaza Strip when a mortar was fired at the forces," the army statement said. AFP
