President Isaac Herzog paid tribute to the seven soldiers who fell in the APC disaster yesterday in Khan Younis. He said: "A very painful morning as we learn of the fall of dear and beloved sons in battle in Khan Younis. Seven flowers plucked while defending our people and homeland - Matan, Ronel, Niv, Ronen, Shahar, Maayan and another fighter whose name has not yet been cleared for publication. The arena in Gaza is difficult, the battles are hard and the burden is unbearable. We bow our heads and embrace with pain and tears the bereaved and grieving families. We are all with you - in grief, embrace and tears."
