The occupation army announced, under the “publication permit” clause, that the dead soldier was Sergeant First Class Asaf Kafri, 26 years old, a tank driver in the 79th Battalion.
According to the occupation army statement, an officer from the “Yahalom” special engineering unit was seriously injured, in addition to a reserve soldier from the same battalion, and they were transferred to the hospital for treatment.
