Additionally, an Israeli soldier died due to a lethal fungus he came in contact with in the Gaza Strip.

Lastly, four soldiers were seriously wounded in battle yesterday: two soldiers of the 7th Armored Brigade’s 82nd Battalion, as well as an officer in the 75th Battalion — all hurt in southern Gaza — and a reservist of the 646th Brigade’s 6646th Battalion hurt in the Strip’s north.

May Shaul rest at ease among the angels and may his memory forever be a blessing.pic.twitter.com/HxxDlcFm3M
