Three Soldiers Fell in Battle in the Northern Gaza Strip
The IDF cleared for publication on Wednesday that Staff Sergeant Matityahu Ya’akov Perel, aged 22, from Beit El, Staff Sergeant Kanaoo Kasa, aged 22, from Beit Shemesh, and Staff Sergeant Nevo Fisher, aged 20, from Bruchin, fell during combat in the northern Gaza Strip.
The three were soldiers in the 46th Armored Battalion, 401st “Iron Trails” Brigade.
According to the IDF, during a Nahal Brigade operation in Beit Hanoun, a tank from the 401st Brigade drove over high-powered explosives planted underground. The explosive went off, killing the soldiers and wounding three others, including an officer who was severely wounded.
The officer was evacuated to a hospital to receive medical treatment and his family has been notified.
The Beit El Local Council stated: “It is with great sorrow that we announce that a son of the Beit El community, Matityahu Perl, son of Avraham and Lea Perl, grandson of Tzvi and Shlomit Perl and Rachel Koren, and great-grandson of Ruth Strauss, may they live long, fell in battle in Gaza. Hearts are with the Perl and Koren families upon learning of the heaviest loss.”

This is too much
