(Jerusalem Post) The IDF on Sunday announced the death of Major Jalaa Ibrahem, 25, a company commander in the Combat Engineering Battalion from Israel's Druze community, who was killed by an anti-tank missile in Rafah in southern Gaza. Three of his brothers serve as officers in the combat engineers. Ibrahem was previously interviewed by Israel's Channel 11 about his role in Gaza. "We do quite a lot, and what we do is significant. In the end we want to destroy Hamas, we didn't enter Gaza to teach it a lesson. We need to make sure it doesn't exist after that, and stay inside until we finish the job. We're far from finished. War has heavy costs, but the importance of what we do inside wins everything. It's hard inside [Gaza], but the spirit of the soldiers is stronger."
