“We ask for prayers for the soldiers who were injured while defending the people of Israel, Elchanan Yair ben Dvora and Benjamin Panerkal, along with all those in need of healing, including all our wounded soldiers. Both are in stable condition and currently in the operating room.”

Earlier today, the IDF spokesperson announced that four reserve soldiers from Battalion 9215, Iron Fist Brigade (205), were seriously injured by a bomb explosion near a tunnel they had uncovered in Khan Younis.

The IDF has stated that all families of the injured soldiers have been updated, and the battalion will continue to support them. The soldiers involved will receive guidance and counselling from a mental health officer.
