The Israel Defense Forces says a soldier injured in Gaza earlier this year has succumbed to his wounds, marking the 349th fatality in Israel’s ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza and in military operations along the border with the Strip.

Sgt. First Class (res.) Nir Haddad, 28, was seriously wounded during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip on June 15, the army says. The Petah Tikva resident was deployed with the 8th Armored Brigade when he was wounded.

The army says three soldiers were seriously wounded in battles in the northern Gaza Strip today, including a combat officer.
