Staff Sgt. Matan Gotlib was a combat soldier in Maglan, an elite IDF unit. He was killed along with two other soldiers in a booby-trapped building thought to be a UNRWA health clinic on July 30. The soldiers had entered in order to destroy an underground tunnel that started from inside the clinic. His brother, Omer, said “Matan smiled a lot, always loved to help, loved the country and loved to travel through it in his jeep.” Gotlib was from Rishon LeZion. He was 21 years old.
