An IDF officer wounded during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip earlier this month succumbed to his wounds, the military announces.
Maj. Guy Yaacov Nezri, 25, a company commander in the 401st Armored Brigade’s 52nd Battalion, from Atlit, was seriously wounded on October 19, during fighting in Jabalia.
His death brings Israel’s toll in the ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza and in military operations along the border with the Strip to 363.
Nezri was wounded in the same incident in which Staff Sgt. Ofir Berkovich and Sgt. Elishai Young were killed.
The soldiers were hit by anti-tank fire, according to an IDF probe.
