Five IDF soldiers were tragically killed today in intense battles in the northern Gaza Strip, the military announced. All five were members of the Reconnaissance Battalion of the Nahal Brigade that had set out to conduct a mission in the Beit Hanoun area.
According to an initial IDF probe, the troops were inside a building and preparing to use explosives for engineering activities, when the explosives detonated early. The blast caused the building to collapse, killing 5 soldiers and wounding an additional 10.
The cause of the blast is still under investigation.
The fallen soldiers are:
- Captain Yair Yakov Shushan, 23, from Ma’alot-Tarshiha, a squad commander.
- Staff Sergeant Yahav Hadar, 20, from Kfar Tavor.
- Staff Sergeant Guy Karmiel, 20, from Gedera.
- Staff Sergeant Yoav Feffer, 19, from Herzliya.
- Staff Sergeant Aviel Wiseman, 20, from Poria Illit.
The soldiers were engaged in heavy fighting in the northern Gaza Strip when the incident occurred. Additionally, eight other soldiers from the same battalion sustained severe injuries during the battle and were evacuated to a hospital for medical treatment.

His
plan, but these could’ve been father’s that produced many many many children and many generations of Jews. This is beyond comprehension. May God eliminate and exterminate our enemies now now now now.
אֵיךְ נָפְלוּ גִבּוֹרִים וַיֹּאבְדוּ כְּלֵי מִלְחָמָה
it seems Bibi is content to sacrifice soldiers so as long as Yair his son on drugs continues to party in Miami
it seems the Zionists davka want the frum young men to die so there are less frum in the society, so they kill the frum in war and then they want to shut down yeshivas, worse than the Hellenists

Your an idiot
@lakewoodbt – your teshuva is far from complete – and you’re just a liar. Several of these soldiers (and the others who fell within the past week) were NOT “Frum” – though having given their lives Al Kidush Hashem to protect their fellow Jews, their Sechar is undoubtedly more than many of those sitting in Lakewood.
As @yochy said – איך נפלו גיבורים.
