A photograph of Lt. Col. Dor Gedalia Ben Simhon, the commander of the 401st Armored Brigade's 52nd Battalion who was killed in action in southern Lebanon, was circulated Sunday evening. The image, posted by the source, shows Ben Simhon before the battalion's entry into Lebanon.
The 52nd Battalion commander fell during a high-intensity engagement with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon in mid-June. The Zioneer has previously covered his eulogies by Northern Command chief Maj. Gen. Uri Gordin and the resurfacing of the battalion anthem sung by Ben Simhon with his troops.
No new operational details were released alongside the photograph. The image adds a visual record to the coverage of Ben Simhon's legacy.
