New details about the IDF’s covert operation inside the Gaza Strip on Sunday reveal that the special forces officer killed during the mission (Lt. Col. M.) made a heroic decision that saved his fellow soldiers even though it meant paying the ultimate price.
Lt. Col. M. was killed and another soldier was wounded during the clash with Hamas operatives in the southern Gaza Strip Sunday. Seven Hamas operatives were killed in the incident.
Many of the details were not approved for publication due to the sensitive nature of the mission, but according to available details, IDF special forces operating in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis were discovered by Hamas operatives at a checkpoint. A fierce gunfight erupted, and the Israeli troops found themselves trapped in their vehicle.
M. reportedly opened fire to draw attention away from his comrades, enabling them to leave their vehicle and charge the enemy.
As a result, M. was hit by much of the enemy fire.
Another officer made a charge toward M.’s position to try to save him, and after managing to kill three terrorists who had opened fire at the squad, reached M.’s vehicle, but was badly wounded in the process.
According to the new details, M.’s action enabled the team to radio for aerial assistance, which arrived within minutes. M. and the wounded officer were evacuated under heavy air force cover, which forced the Hamas gunmen to retreat.
Lt. Col. M was laid to rest on Monday afternoon.

关于以色列国防军周日在加沙地带进行秘密行动的新细节显示,在执行任务期间遇害的特种部队官员(中校M.)作出了一项英勇的决定,即使这意味着付出了最终代价,也救了他的士兵。
星期天在加沙地带南部与哈马斯特工发生冲突时,M。中校遇害,另一名士兵受伤。事件中有七名哈马斯特工被杀。
由于任务的敏感性,许多细节未被批准出版,但根据现有的细节,哈马斯特工在检查站发现了在加沙南部城镇汗尤尼斯开展行动的以色列国防军特种部队。一场激烈的枪战爆发,以色列军队发现自己被困在车内。
据报道,M开枪引起了对战友的注意,使他们能够离开车辆并向敌人冲锋。
结果,M。被大部分敌人击中。
另一名军官指控M.的职位试图拯救他,并在设法杀死三名向小队开火的恐怖分子后,到达了M.的车辆,但在此过程中受了重伤。
根据新的细节,M。的行动使得该团队能够通过无线电进行空中援助,并在几分钟内到达。 M.和受伤的军官在重型空军掩护下撤离,迫使哈马斯枪手撤退。
M中校在星期一下午休息。
