Israel Defense Forces Staff Sgt. Shahar Cohen Mivtach, 22, was killed on Sunday during ground operations against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the military announced on Monday.
Mivtach, from the 9th Battalion of the 401st Armored Brigade, died in battle in the northern Gaza Strip, bringing the IDF death toll during the ground offensive to at least 34. The IDF has so far released the names of 348 Israeli soldiers who have died since Hamas's Oct. 7 massacre.
Monday marked the 31st day of "Operation Swords of Iron," launched by Israel in response to Hamas's invasion of the western Negev on Oct. 7. On that date, accompanied by massive rocket barrages, thousands of terrorists crossed the border from the Gaza Strip, murdering 1,400 persons, wounding over 5,000 others and taking more than 200 hostages back to Gaza.
The Israeli military has stated that its aim is to destroy Hamas's military and governing capabilities in the Gaza Strip and for weeks has been warning Gaza civilians to relocate south temporarily. "O residents of Gaza, I would like to inform you that although Hamas is harming the ongoing humanitarian efforts on behalf of the people of Gaza and is using you as human shields, today the IDF will once again allow passage on the Salah al-Din Road between 10:00 AM and 14:00 PM," Avichay Adraee, the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman, tweeted.
