Golani Staff-Sergeant Netanel Moshiashvili, 21, from Ashkelon.
Killed Friday in a clash with a Palestinian terrorist, near Kissufim.
The Islamic Jihad says that it was one of its operatives who infiltrated Israel. The al-Quds Brigades, the Islamic Jihad's military wing, said that their mission was to abduct an IDF soldier. According to available details, the incident took place at around 4 am, when the gunman, using the heavy fog covering the area, was able to reach the security fence, cut it and infiltrate Israel. A Golani force was scrambled to the area and engaged the terrorist, who opened fire. The terrorist – later identified as Ahmed abu Nasser, from the border village of Abassan – was killed. The gunfight left Moshiashvili, one of the force's medics, mortally wounded. IDF medics attempted to stabilize his condition, but he succumbed to his wounds.
Staff-Sergeant Moshiashvili will be laid to rest at the Ashkelon Military Cemetery at noon, Friday.
OF BLESSED MEMORY
