Commander Arnon Zamora, an officer in Israel's elite Yamam counter-terrorism unit, succumbed to his injuries following a rescue operation in Gaza. The mission, initially named 'Operation Summer Seeds' and now renamed 'Operation Arnon,' successfully liberated four hostages. Zamora, an IDF soldier and Lieutenant Colonel, led the team in breaching a building where three hostages were held, including Noa, and was critically injured when Hamas operatives identified the rescue force and opened fire. His sacrifice has been hailed as an act of heroism by many, including IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, who spoke with the commander of the police's Yamam unit. Zamora's bravery and leadership are being remembered as a significant contribution to the freedom of others.
