Capt. Shahar Gamla, 23, from Natur, and Sgt. Ohad Yaari, 21, from Rehovot, fell after two separate incidents in southern Lebanon, the IDF announced on Saturday.
Gamla, a deputy company commander in the Egoz Unit of the IDF’s Commando Brigade, died after being severely injured by a suspected aerial target in southern Lebanon on Thursday.
