The IDF reported Saturday evening that Major (Res.) Yotam Itzhak Peled, 34, from Rosh Haayin, a company commander in the Logistics Corps' 8119th Battalion, was killed during combat in the central Gaza Strip.
Peled died from an explosive device in what the military described as an unusual incident. The device was detonated by a group of terrorists against an administrative convoy from a reserve armament unit operating in the Netzarim Corridor, an area under supposed high operational control by the IDF for over six months.
