The Israel Defense Forces names a soldier killed in the October 7 attacks in southern Israel, more than two weeks after his death.
Warrant Officer Ziv Dado, 36, from Rehovot, served as a logistics supervisor in the Golani Brigade’s 51st Battalion.
The IDF says Dado’s family has been notified of his death. No further information is given.
Authorities are still working to identify dozens of bodies of those who were killed in the Hamas massacres on October 7.
Dado’s death brings the total number of slain soldiers, officers, and reservists — many of whom are local security officers — in the war to 309.
