The Death of Ari Weiss
(Ha'aretz) - An investigation into Monday's events found that Staff Sergeant Ari Weiss, 21, was killed and another soldier seriously wounded while they were guarding an office building the IDF had seized the day before. The building had formerly housed Hamas offices and soldiers found a considerable amount of valuable intelligence information. Weiss and his comrade had gone down to the ground floor to replace two other soldiers on guard duty. The four were chatting when Palestinian gunmen opened fire from the second floor of a nearby building. Weiss and the wounded soldier were both wearing bullet-proof vests but because of the angle of the shots, the bullets struck above the vests.
