IDF volunteer soldier killed in south Gaza fighting; 100 gunmen killed in Khan Younis
An Israeli soldier was killed during fighting against the Hamas terror group in southern Gaza’s Rafah on Thursday, the military announced Friday, as troops pressed on with operations across the Strip.
The slain soldier was named by the Israel Defense Forces as Cpl. (res.) Moti Rave, 37, from the community of Shani, also known as Livne, which straddles the southern West Bank border.
Rave served as an engineering vehicle operator in the Givati Infantry Brigade.
He had volunteered in the military through the so-called Shlav Bet track, in which older people who didn’t previously serve have a shortened basic training before being sent to serve in specialized roles.
