The fourth disaster in the extended family – and the second in the war: First Lieutenant Fadia Mark, an officer in Givati, fell in battle with the terrorists in Gaza yesterday (Tuesday), about a month after his cousin Elhanan Clemensohn was killed while rescuing people during the massacre of Hamas terrorists.
Mark's father, Michael Mark, was murdered in a 2016 attack. Padya and his sister, who were in the car with him, survived. Fadia's brother, Shlomi, who worked in the Prime Minister's Office, was killed in a car accident in 2019.

Elhanan Kalmansohn, a 43-year-old resident of Otniel, fell on October 8 near the Gaza Strip while rescuing civilians. As the son of Rabbi Benny Clemenson, Rosh Yeshiva Otniel, he was exposed to the horrific attack at the yeshiva in 2001, and his uncle was murdered in a shooting attack by a freed man in the Gilad Shalit deal.
