The IDF announced the deaths of two additional soldiers killed while fighting in Gaza, with one being the first casualty since the end of the ceasefire.
They were named as:
- Sergeant Aschalwu Sama, 20, a soldier in the Nachal Brigade, who succumbed to his wounds last night after being wounded in battle on Nov. 14th in northern Gaza.
- Major General (Res.) Or Brandes, 25, a soldier in the 82nd Battalion, 7th Brigade (‘Golan Assault Formation’), killed overnight during battle in the center of the Gaza Strip.
Brandes’s death marks the first time an IDF soldier was killed while operating in “the center” of Gaza.
398 IDF troops have now been killed since and including October 7th.

Yet another title correction – Or Brandes is being reported elsewhere as a Sergeant First Class, not a Major General. Big difference…

At least during the ceasefire there were no casualties. Fighting in such close quarters in a viper’s nest is a nightmare. Just bomb from above and protect our soldiers!
How’d it go from two digit numbers last week to 398 now?
