Two IDF Soldiers Killed, Six Wounded in Gaza
Stand for Israel | May 9, 2025
Two Israel Defense Forces soldiers were killed on Thursday, and at least six were wounded in separate incidents amid fighting in the southern Gaza Strip, the military announced.
The soldiers were named Friday morning as Sgt. Yishai Elyakim Urbach, 20, of the Combat Engineering Corps’ 605th Battalion, from Zichron Yaakov, and Staff Sgt. Yam Frid, 21, of the Golani Brigade’s reconnaissance unit, from Sal’it.
Read Yael’s reflection on this terrible loss. The Bible promises us, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:3). Please pray that God would comfort the families and loved ones of these young men who fell defending their country, and for peace for the Holy Land.
