Three Israeli soldiers were killed during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip this morning, the IDF announces.
The slain troops are named as:
Cpt. Barak Israel Sagan, 22, from Petah Tikva
Sgt. Ido Ben Zvi, 21, from Shomrat
Sgt. Hillel Ovadia, 22, from Jerusalem
All three served with the 460th Armored Brigade’s 196th Battalion. The brigade is the IDF’s school for tank commanders during peacetime. Sagan was a commander at the school, while Ben Zvi and Ovadia were cadets.
The three were killed in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya early this morning when a bomb was detonated against the tank they were in. The fourth soldier in the tank was moderately wounded.
