Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offers his “heartfelt condolences” to the family of IDF reservist Barak Kalfon, 48, of the 226th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade’s 7056th Battalion.

“We embrace the family and loved ones of Barak, of blessed memory, in their difficult time, and wish a speedy recovery to our soldiers who were injured,” Netanyahu says in a statement.

“Our forces will continue to operate in the security zone to thwart threats directed against them and our communities, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement.”
