Two American-Born Israeli Soldiers Killed in Gaza Fighting
(Fox News) Two American-born soldiers serving in the Israel Defense Forces were killed in fighting in Gaza on Sunday. Max Steinberg, 24, whose family lives in Southern California's San Fernando Valley, was a sharpshooter for the Golani Brigade who had moved to Israel in December 2012. Nissim Sean Carmeli, 21, from South Padre Island, Texas, had moved to Israel four years ago. Stuart Steinberg said of his son, "He was completely dedicated and committed to serving the country of Israel. He was focused, he was clear in what the mission was, and he was dedicated to the work he needed to be doing." The Jewish Federations of North America said in a statement that its "deepest sympathies" were with the families of 18 Israeli soldiers killed over the last two days. "Along with all of Israel, and the entire Jewish People, we mourn their loss as if they were our own."
