This was Ilan Weiss z"l from Kibbutz Be'eri, who has been missing since October 7. His body was found and has been determined as murdered by Hamas during the massacre.

May his memory be for a blessing

The 401st Brigade conducted targeted raids on military posts and the residences of senior officials and neutralized dozens of anti-tank missile cells.

Following intelligence regarding the presence of a terrorist cell in a building, IDF soldiers from the Shaked Battalion scanned the area and conducted a targeted raid on the location. During the activity, soldiers encountered several terrorists and engaged in a firefight, which ended with the soldiers killing the terrorists.

Whilst scanning the building, soldiers found a camera belonging to one of the terrorists who was killed, with footage showing Hamas’ operational methods.
