The IDF soldier moderately injured in clashes along the northern Gaza border on Sunday night, has been identified as Yoadd Zaguri, who enlisted as a lone soldier from Los Angeles.

Zaguri is currently sedated and hooked up to a respirator after shrapnel from an explosive device hurled at soldiers struck him in the neck.

His girlfriend tells Channel 12 that Zaguri fought to enlist despite objections from his parents and bureaucratic obstacles he faced upon arrival.
