The nation mourns the loss of Captain Avraham Ben Pinchas HY”D, a courageous IDF officer who gave his life in the defense of Israel. At just 24 years old, this platoon commander from the 46th Battalion of the 401st Armored Brigade demonstrated unparalleled dedication and bravery.
Captain Ben Pinchas, hailing from the small community of Harasha, was no stranger to the perils of combat. Two months prior, he sustained a severe head injury during a mission in Gaza. Yet, his unwavering sense of duty led him to an extraordinary decision—once healed, he chose to return to the frontlines to fight alongside his comrades against Hamas terrorists in the southern Gaza Strip.
Today, during intense clashes, Captain Ben Pinchas fell in battle, leaving behind a legacy of selflessness and heroism. His story is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of the IDF to protect the State of Israel.
May the Ben Pinchas family find Nechama. Besuros Tovos.
