Cpt. Daniel Perez (IDF)
The IDF announces the death of Cpt. Daniel Perez, 22, who was killed and abducted by Hamas on October 7.
Perez, from Yad Binyamin, served as a platoon commander in the 7th Armored Brigade’s 77th Battalion, and his body was taken from the Gaza border, following a battle with terrorists during the Hamas onslaught.
His death was recently declared by the Military Rabbinate based on findings and new intelligence information.
The findings allow Perez to be buried according to Jewish law, but his body remains in Gaza.
