The IDF Spokesperson's Office confirmed to the publication today (Tuesday) of the fall of Maj. Shai Shamriz, from the Shapira Center, a company commander in the 931st Battalion of the Nahal Brigade, who was 26 years old.
Shamriz is a graduate of my husband's pre-military preparatory school and studied in the same class as his friend Eitan Naeh from Kibbutz Sde Eliyahu, who fell last week in the Gaza Strip, and is the 14th fatality from the preparatory school In addition, he is the second cousin of Alon Shamriz, who was accidentally shot about a week and a half ago by IDF soldiers while fleeing from his abductors in Gaza.
Before entering Gaza, he told his fighters in a speech circulated online: "In every generation, there were the people who stood up and said I am. And they said, We are the protector of this people. We have the right to be fighters in times of crisis, in times of trial. These moments are difficult for the people of Israel, and they are very difficult. This group that stands here is the defender of the people of Israel, and whoever dares to harm our country, our people, is going to pay for it big time. Anyone who dares to raise their heads will regret it."
