An IDF soldier critically wounded last week in southern Gaza’s Rafah succumbed to his injuries over the weekend, the military announces.
The slain soldier is named as Sgt. Yonatan Aharon Greenblatt, 21, of the Givati Brigade’s Shaked Battalion, from Beit Shemesh.
Greenblatt was hit by an anti-tank projectile fired at a building he was in in Rafah on July 20, and taken to a hospital in critical condition.
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 331.
