Another Givati soldier was killed in the Gaza Strip yesterday, authorities say.

The Otniel settlement and Har Hevron Regional Council in statements say that 2nd Lt. Pedayah Mark was killed battling Hamas terrorists.

The Israel Defense Forces has not yet cleared his name for publication, as it generally waits for all family members to be notified.

Pedayah is the son of Rabbi Miki Mark, who was killed in a 2016 West Bank shooting attack. Pedayah was moderately hurt in that attack.
