This major, 34, the Logistics Officer of the 218th Brigade, woke up to the sound of sirens blaring from Sderot. He and his wife were home with their month-and-a-half-old baby. Shortly after seeing a video circulating on WhatsApp of a terrorist pickup truck roaming Sderot, they began hearing live gunfire near Yakhini. He immediately grabbed his weapon and ran out to defend the moshav. He was killed in action around 8:00 AM.
