An IDF soldier has been airlifted after sustaining serious injuries after being hit in a mortar attack near the Gaza border. As YWN had reported in our live blog, three soldiers were injured in the attack which occurred near Kerem Shlomo. One soldier was airlifted to a hospital where he is being treated. Two others were reportedly transported by ground.

YWN apologizes for an earlier report that a soldier had passed away.
