The Binyamin region has announced that Daniel Yacov Ben Harosh, an IDF reservist and resident of the town of Alon in the Binyamin region, was killed in action.
Binyamin governor Israel Gantz commented "We have lost a resident, a father, a precious man, who fought for his nation and land. The heart is shattered at another world falling apart. His death, while risking his life, is the price of our recovery. We owe him and his comrades the continued building of the state and our society."
"We embrace Daniel's family - his wife Hadar and his son Yuval, who is only two years old - at this tragic time. We will continue to accompany them along with the community of Alon."
