The armed wing of the Islamist Palestinian movement Hamas announced today that an Israeli soldier, held hostage in the Gaza Strip, was killed early this morning in a clash between her fighters and an Israeli special forces unit, which was carrying out a rescue operation.
The Al-Qassam Brigades said its fighters discovered the rescue operation and confronted the unit, which led to the death and injury of a number of Israeli soldiers participating in the operation, without specifying their number.
He also named the Israeli soldier hostage who was killed as 25-year-old Saar Baruch and also released his alleged ID number.
The Israel Defense Forces have not yet responded to a Reuters request for comment.
Israel rescued a soldier held in Gaza in late October and noted that it may conduct similar operations to rescue other hostages held by Hamas if possible.
