Lt. Col. M. reportedly opened fire to
draw attention away from his comrades,
enabling them to leave their vehicle and
charge the enemy.
As a result, Lt. Col. M. was hit by
much of the enemy fire.
Another officer made a charge toward
Lt. Col. M.’s position to try to save
him, and after managing to kill three
terrorists who had opened fire at the
squad, reached his vehicle, but was badly
wounded in the process.
According to the new details, the offi-
cer’s action enabled the team to radio for
aerial assistance, which arrived within
minutes. He and the wounded officer
were evacuated under heavy air-force
cover, which forced the Hamas gunmen
to retreat.
Lt. Col. M. was laid to rest Nov. 12. ■

New details about the Israel Defense
Forces’ covert operation inside the Gaza
Strip on Nov. 11 reveal that the officer
killed during the mission made a heroic
decision that saved his fellow soldiers,
even though it cost him his life.
Lt. Col. M., a special-forces officer, was
killed, and another soldier was wounded
during a clash with Hamas operatives in
the southern Gaza Strip Nov. 11. Seven
Hamas operatives were killed in the
incident.
Many of the details were not approved
for publication due to the sensitive
nature of the mission, but according to
available details, IDF special forces o ‎ per-
ating in the southern Gaza town of Khan
Younis were discovered by Hamas oper-
atives at a checkpoint. A fierce gunfight
erupted, and the Israeli troops found
themselves trapped in their vehicle.
