The deputy defense establishment comptroller, Brig. Gen. Yogev Bar Sheshet, was moderately wounded by gunfire shrapnel in Gaza City on Friday, the military says.

Bar Sheshet had been with the Nahal Infantry Brigade chief’s forward command team in the Zeitoun neighborhood.

He is the most senior IDF officer to be wounded during fighting in the Gaza Strip amid the war.

Five Nahal soldiers were killed fighting Hamas in Zeitoun on Friday.
