Today’s IDF Fallen
Today we lost 3 soldiers, killed after falling into a well-planned ambush from Hamas terrorists. No word yet from Jimmy Carter on whether this was Hamas’ way of crying out for dialog with Israel, although Hamas were typically subtle about their intentions:
“We will continue to conduct many operations against the occupation, and continue to set ambushes of death against its cowardly soldiers,” Hamas said in a flier which was published following Wednesday morning’s attack. “IDF soldiers going into Gaza have four choices: to be killed, captured, seriously wounded, or become psychologically traumatized.”
The fallen soldiers were:
- Sgt. Matan Ovdati, 19, from Patish
- Sgt. Menhash Albaniat, 20, a tracker from Kuseife in the Negev
- Sgt. David Papian, 21, from Tel Aviv
May their blood be avenged.

May their blood be avenged a hundredfold, some disproportion being necessary to focus the attention of savages.
