STORYLINE:
Hundreds of mourners attended Monday the funeral of Israeli Colonel Ahsan Daksa who was killed in northern Gaza.

Daksa served as the Commander of the 401st Brigade, and was was a member of the Druze community in Israel.

A battalion commander was seriously injured, and two additional officers were lightly injured in the incident.

On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led militants blew holes in Israel’s security fence and stormed in, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting another 250.

Israel’s offensive in Gaza has killed over 42,000 Palestinians, according to local health authorities, who do not distinguish combatants from civilians.

The war has destroyed large areas of Gaza and displaced about 90% of its population of 2.3 million people.
