Cpt. (res.) Tal Movshovitz, 28, an IDF reservist who was killed in the Gaza Strip yesterday, was a member of the Shin Bet, the security agency announces.
Movshovitz served as a deputy company commander in the 7086th Combat Engineering Battalion in reserves. He was killed by an explosive device planted in a building in Khan Younis.
The Shin Bet says that outside of his reserve duty, Movshovitz was a combat commander in the agency.
He is the 11th member of the Shin Bet to be killed during the war.
The announcement comes as Movshovitz is buried in Modiin.
