The military said Sergeant Major Ghaleb Sliman Al-Nasasra, 35, fell during combat in northern Gaza, adding that three others were also wounded.
Two of the wounded were women soldiers, the military said.
At least 412 soldiers have been killed in the Gaza offensive since the military launched a ground assault on the Palestinian territory on October 27, 2023.
The war in Gaza broke out after Hamas's unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
