Schneur Cohen HY’D, a 20-year-old Chabad bochur and soldier in the IDF’s Givati Brigade was killed while fighting Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

Schneur had studied in Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim in Eretz Yisroel before joining Kvutza for the year פ”ג.

He is survived by his parents, Zev and Dina Cohen, and eight siblings.

Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan mourned Schneur, saying “Schneur was a person with inner grace which shined outward. He learned Torah, and he was also a talented fighter. Before he enlisted, he volunteered in the regional defense. He was raised by a family of true pioneers, Dina and Ze’ev Cohen, who moved – at the height of the Oslo war – the Second Intifada – to live in Sa-Nur and strengthen the towns of northern Samaria. They are dedicated to all of the town’s needs. Since October 7, his father has been serving in the reserves, in the regional defense of Samaria.”
