The military also announced the 43th fatality of its 20-day campaign in the Gaza Strip, aimed at ending rocket fire against Israel and destroying a sophisticated network of cross-border tunnels. Barak Refael Degorker, 27, died in fighting Saturday "in the vicinity" of the strip, it said. No other details were available.
The developments came as Israel accepted and Hamas rejected a 24-hour extension of a humanitarian cease-fire meant to remain into effect until midnight Sunday (2100 GMT).
1,047 Palestinians have died in the Gaza campaign.
