IDF names Sgt. Cohen, Sgt.-Maj. Rotstein as additional fallen soldiers in Khan Yunis
Sergeant Uri Yehonatan Cohen, 20, from Neve Yarak, and Sergeant Major Tom Rotstein, 23, from Ramat Gan, fighters in the Yahalom unit, Combat Engineering Corps, fell in battle in the southern Gaza Strip, the IDF confirmed on Saturday.
The IDF announced on Friday that four Israeli soldiers were killed and five others were wounded in Khan Yunis, Gaza Strip, when a bomb detonated, causing a building to collapse on the troops clearing the area. Warrant Officer, (Warr. Ofc.) Chen Gross, and Staff-Sergeant (St.-Sgt.) Yoav Raver were the other two soldiers killed during the same incident.
The deaths of these four soldiers bring the total number of soldiers killed this week to eight.
The incident occurred at approximately 6 a.m., IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Effie Defrin informed. The operation took place as part of the IDF’s efforts to destroy terror infrastructure in the area, aiming to establish continuous control. The building that the troops entered is situated above a tunnel system, so it was necessary to enter and investigate it.
