This was a gut wrenching day in the War. Overnight and today we lost 4 soldiers in two separate friendly fire incidents. In the first incident, a Golani unit had taken over a building, and a tank fired at the building, either with the mistaken assumption that there were Hamas operatives inside, or an accidental shelling...it is still unclear. Twenty four other soldiers were wounded, one critically, and three severely, the rest sustaining light to moderate injuries. Under extremely heavy IDF protection, the injured were evacuated by helicopter and ambulances to hospitals in Israel. The three Golani soldiers who were killed in this incident were the following:
Staff Sargeant Nitay Stern, 21 of Jerusalem
Corporal Yousif Moaddi, 19, Druze Village of Yerka in the Galilee
Major Dagan Wertman, 32, Maale Michmas
The fourth soldier was killed in a separate friendly fire incident was
