Gaza Strip, the first Israeli death in more than a week of fighting.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said that Israeli man was delivering food to soldiers Tuesday at the Erez Crossing with Gaza when he was struck by a mortar.
Nearly 200 Palestinians have been killed in strikes in Gaza since Israel launched the campaign over a week ago to stop rocket fire at its citizens.
Gaza militants have fired more than 1,100 rockets toward Israel in the fighting. Mostly thanks to its "Iron Dome" defense system, no Israelis were killed till Tuesday.
Rosenfeld said at least 15 Israelis, including several children, have been injured by the Palestinian rocket fire since the fighting began.
