"Along with all citizens of Israel, I grieve the loss of the four IDF soldiers – Sergeant Major Danila Dyakov, Major (res.) Alexander Fedorenko, Sergeant Yahav Maayan, and Sergeant Eliav Estiokar, the late.
They fell defending the homeland in battles in the northern Gaza Strip, in the war for our existence and security. Their heroism and courage will be etched in our hearts forever.
Our hearts go out to their grieving families in these difficult times. We will not forget the heavy price they bear for all of us. May their memory be blessed." - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
