The Israeli military has confirmed that six of its soldiers were killed in two separate incidents in Gaza and at the Jordanian border.
According to a military statement, four soldiers died and three others were injured when their vehicle struck an explosive device in the city of Rafah, southern Gaza.
In a separate attack, officials said a Jordanian man driving an aid truck opened fire on Israeli troops at the King Hussein crossing on the Jordan-Israel border. Two soldiers were killed in the assault before the attacker stabbed others. The assailant was later shot dead by a security guard.
Jordanian authorities have since closed the crossing referred to in Israel as the Allenby Bridge citing heavy traffic and security concerns.
