Israel at war: Remembering the 189 IDF personnel killed in line of duty

As the death toll from a surprise attack by Hamas continued to rise, entering the fifth day of Israel at war with the terrorist organization, there were at least 1,200 people brutally murdered and thousands wounded.

Many of the dead were civilians massacred on the streets of their cities, towns and villages, as well as 260 at an outdoor party. While at least 189 of the casualties were Israel Defense Forces (IDF) personnel.  

"So far we have notified 189 families of the IDF fallen soldiers and are continuing the effort to identify the dead. This is a top national priority task for us," IDF Chief Spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a statement on Wednesday.

The IDF disclosed the names of the heroes that fell in the line of duty, after immediate families were notified in person, so the brave soldiers' ultimate sacrifice will be remembered.
