The IDF announced on Tuesday morning the death of two soldiers who fell in battle in the Gaza Strip.
Staff Sgt. (res.) Elisha Yehonatan Lober, 24, of the 179th Reserve Armored Brigade’s 8104th Battalion, from Yitzhar was named as the first soldier.
Lober is survived by his parents, his eight siblings, his child, and his wife, who is pregnant.
“We will continue to struggle and to fight so that the goals of this war will be fully achieved. Yehonatan’s death will not be in vain and only an overwhelming, total, and clear victory will calm us,” said Shay Elon, head of the Beit El regional council. “The best of our children give their lives for the nation and the country and we must be worthy of them and their sacrifice.”
Sgt. First Class (res.) Joseph Yosef Gitarts, 25, of the 179th Reserve Armored Brigade’s 7029th Battalion, from Tel Aviv, was the second soldier announced.
Later on Tuesday, the military announced that St.-Sgt. Daniel Nachmani, from Kfar Saba, who served in the 71st ‘Barak’ Battalion, died of his wounds on Monday from injuries sustained during combat in Gaza last week.
