A clarification has been issued regarding the casualties from the recent attack. Staff Sergeant Nir Ben of the elite Maglan Unit was the sole fatality. The previously reported death of Sergeant Yoav Klein was incorrect; he is actually one of four soldiers killed in a separate incident two nights earlier, which also claimed the commander of the 52nd Battalion.
