A Connecticut father says his 22-year-old son was killed amid the tensions in the Middle East.
Mendy Katz posted on social media that his son, Moshe Yitzchak, a sergeant in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) “fell in battle in Lebanon.”
“My oldest son… with a zest for life and jokes,” his father said.
A burial has been scheduled for Sunday, March 29.
Israel expanded their ground operation in Lebanon in an effort to dismantle Hezbollah’s military infrastructure, according to an Axios report earlier this month.
“My heart is shattered, and the wound is real,” Katz continued. “May he be a malitz yosher for only good things.”
