An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officer was killed in combat in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday, a military spokesman announced.
The deceased fighter was identified as Captain Avraham Ben Pinchas, 24, from Harasha, an Israeli community in the Judea and Samaria region (West Bank). Ben Pinchas served as a platoon commander in the 46th Battalion of the 401st Armored Brigade Corps.
This brings the number of soldiers killed since the start of ground operations against the Islamic terrorist group Hamas in the coastal enclave at the end of October 383 to 2023.
