The Israel Defense Forces announces the deaths of three soldiers who were abducted by Hamas on October 7.
They are: Staff Sgt. Tomer Yaakov Ahimas, 20, from Lehavim; Sgt. Kiril Brodski, 19, from Ramat Gan; and Sgt. Shaked Dahan, 19, from Afula.
The three were killed on October 7 and the military’s chief rabbi declared their deaths based on various findings obtained by the IDF.
The three are listed as “fallen soldiers held hostage by a terror group,” but Ahimas and Brodski can be buried according to halacha.
Their deaths bring the toll of fallen IDF soldiers since October 7 to 395.
