The two soldiers, aged 20 and 22, served in the Golani Infantry Brigade's 51st Battalion.
Israeli military sources said they were killed when their armoured vehicle exploded in the city of Khan Yunis.
Military correspondents from several Israeli media outlets said the blast was caused by an improvised explosive device detonated by a militant who emerged from a tunnel.
An investigation was underway.
The Israeli military says 462 soldiers have been killed since the start of its war on Gaza on October 27, 2023.
The Israeli war has killed 59,733 Palestinians, mostly civilians, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
