An off-duty Israeli soldier was killed in this morning’s Iranian ballistic missile attack on Beersheba, the IDF announces.
He is named as Cpl. Eitan Zacks, 18, a trainee in the elite Multidomain Unit, from Beersheba.
Zacks was killed in his home along with two family members. A fourth person was killed in an adjacent apartment.
Zacks was at home because a paramedics course he was participating in was being held remotely, due to the security situation.
A total of 28 people were killed in Iran’s ballistic missile attacks since June 13. All apart from Zacks were civilians.
