The IDF has announced the deaths of 10 soldiers who were killed in an incident in the southern Gaza Strip on Monday, during which two buildings collapsed following a large explosion, and a tank was apparently hit by an RPG. Their deaths bring the toll of slain troops in the ground offensive against Hamas to 208. The IDF is still probing the cause of the blast, but it is thought to have been caused by an RPG fired at the building where mines were stored. Rescue efforts continued for several hours after the incident. The soldiers have been named as: Matan Lazar Hadar Kapeluk Sergey Gontmaher Elkana Yehuda Sfez Yoval Lopez Yoav Levi Nicholas Bergerr Cydrick Garin Rafael Elias Mosheyoff Barak Haim Ben Valid
