The IDF announced the deaths of Staff-Sergeant-Major Constantine Sushko and Captain Harel Ittah.

In addition to the 501 soldiers, 57 officers and policemen of the Israel Police were also killed in the battles to contain and defend the settlements, along with about ten soldiers of Shin Bet.

The three announced Wednesday were Lt. Yaron Eliezer Chitiz, 23, from Ra'anana; Staff-Sgt. Itay Buton, 20, from Petah Tikva; and Staff-Sgt. Efraim Yachman, 21, from Neve Daniel.

Soldiers in the IDF's Givati Brigade the same day raided the headquarters of Hamas in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

Givati Capt. Dan Katzir responded to the Hamas October 7 massacre. Weeks later, he prepared with his soldiers for ground operations in Gaza.

Soldiers from the Givati Brigade, along with the 162nd Armored Division and special forces, raided the military quarter which is situated near the Shifa Hospital.

Operational maps, command and control tables and personal details of commanders who operate within the terrorist organization, were discovered.

In an interview with Maariv last year, Mark told about the attack he went through with his family, about the pain of his father's death and life after the hardship.

More than 300 soldiers have been killed in the battles since October 7.

Maj. Matan Elgraby, 32, displayed extraordinary instinct and resourcefulness, preventing Hamas terrorists for killing more Israeli soldiers.
