01 · THE DISPATCH

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a personal letter to the family of Sergeant Ohad Yaari, who was killed in southern Lebanon last week. The Prime Minister's Office released the text on Monday evening. Yaari, a fighter in the Givati Brigade's Shaked Battalion, was killed in a suspected accidental firearm discharge inside a building in the village of Zoutar al-Sharqiyya on Friday, June 6, as previously reported by The Zioneer. The case has drawn public attention; the father of the fallen soldier publicly called for the release of the soldier who fired the shot. In his letter, Netanyahu struck a note of national resilience, vowing to continue military operations and invoking the 'eternity of Israel.' He did not address the ongoing investigation into the incident.
