IDF announces deaths of Maj. Moshiko Maxim Rozenwald, Sgt.-Maj. Alexander Asnov in Rafah, Gaza
Maj. (res.) Moshiko Maxim Rozenwald, 35, and Sergeant-Major (res). Alexander Asnov, 26, both from Modi’in, were killed in Rafah in southern Gaza, the IDF announced on Tuesday.
Both Rozenwald and Asnov served in the engineering battalion within the Nahal Brigade.
Initial estimates are that the incident involved the collapse of a structure that the soldiers were inside of.
Also, initially, the IDF did not say anything specific about how the structure collapsed, including whether it was from an attack from Hamas, but a later update said that it was unrelated to any attack.
Rather, the later update said that the frequent movements of large tanks and other vehicles in the area and the fact that it was less stable from the start, led to its collapse.
IDF probing incident
The IDF said it was still probing why the soldiers were in the structure if it was known that it was less stable and whether the frequent movement of vehicles could have implications for other structures potentially collapsing.
There have been general stability problems with many of the buildings in Gaza, which have seen extensive damage by the war.
