The Israel Defense Forces names Sgt. Shirel Haim Pour, a 20-year-old from Rishon Lezion, as one of the soldiers killed in the Hamas onslaught on October 7.
The military says it cleared Pour’s name for publication after notifying her family. Her body was only recently identified.
Pour served in the Gaza Division.
Her death brings the total number of slain soldiers, officers, and reservists — many of whom are local security officers — in the war to 311.
