An IDF soldier was killed and three others were wounded on Saturday near the border with the Gaza Strip when the hammer in which they were riding overturned.

The deceased was identified as Yuval Menah, 20, of the 101st Paratroop Brigade. Two soldiers were seriously wounded; a third sustained light injuries.
