The Israel Defense Forces announced on Sunday that Sgt. First Class (res.) Noam Shemesh, 21, of Jerusalem, was killed in combat in the southern part of the Gaza Strip on Saturday.

Shemesh was a squad commander in the Shimshon Battalion 92 in the Kfir Brigade.

The IDF said that the family of the deceased was notified.

“The war against Hamas in Gaza is still ongoing,” stated Dov Lipman, a former Knesset member. “May God comfort the Shemesh family among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.”

Tina Lerno told JNS that she had a “panic attack” and “sat down at my desk and started crying.”
