Another one of Israel’s heroes was killed battling terrorists on Tuesday, bringing the death toll of IDF soldiers since October 7, 2023, to 752:

Maj. (res.) Aviram Hariv, 42, was the deputy commander of the 228th “Alon” Infantry Brigade’s 9308th Battalion, from Dolev in the Binyamin region.

Earlier on Tuesday, the military announced the death of Staff Sgt. Yishai Mann, 21, a soldier from the Nahal Infantry Brigade’s 50th Battalion, in an operational accident near the border with the Gaza Strip.

Mann, a resident of Mitzpe Yericho, also in the Binyamin region of southern Samaria, died in a car crash.

On Sunday, IDF Col. Ehsan Daksa, 41, the commander of the ]401st Armored Brigade, was killed in action in the northern Gaza Strip.

May their memories – and the memories of all who have fallen defending the Holy Land – be a blessing.
