An IDF reservist seriously wounded during fighting in southern Lebanon last week succumbed to his wounds, the military announces.

Master Sgt. (res.) Yedidia Bloch, 31, of the 55th Paratroopers Brigade’s 7155th Battalion, from Mevo Horon, was seriously wounded in battle on October 24.

Bloch had been seriously wounded in the same incident in which Sgt. First Class Gai Ben-Haroosh was killed.
