IDF Captain Eitan Sheknazi, 24, tragically lost his life in combat in Gaza, as reported by the Binyamin Regional Council on Monday evening.
Sheknazi was married to Halle and had completed his studies at the Bnei David pre-military academy. He lived in the town of Eli in the Binyamin region, and was the tenth soldier from the town to lose his life since the conflict began.
Israel Ganz, the head of the Binyamin Regional Council, expressed deep sorrow, stating, “Eitan, deputy company commander, graduate of the Egoz Unit, fought heroically and led his soldiers in the Nachal Brigade on their way to destroy the enemy, until he fell in battle.”
“He was raised and educated with self-sacrifice and the love of the nation and the Land, and that is how he lived – and how he fell. At this difficult hour, we embrace his dear wife Hallel, his parents, and his entire family. The entire nation of Israel is with you.”
