An Israel Defense Forces reservist was killed in combat in the central Gaza Strip on Wednesday, the military said on Thursday morning.
He was identified as Capt. (res.) Amit Levi, 35, from Shomria, a religious kibbutz in southern Israel.
His funeral was scheduled for Thursday at 3 p.m. local time at the Mount Herzl military cemetery in Jerusalem.
His death brings the IDF’s total death toll since the start of the war on Oct. 7, 2023, to 822, and to 390 since the start of Gaza ground operations on Oct. 27, 2023.
The IDF on Monday night announced that three IDF soldiers had been killed fighting Hamas terrorists in northern Gaza.
