Israeli media shed light on the killing of an army officer in the Gaza battles, pointing to a video clip he published a few weeks ago from inside the Gaza Strip sending greetings to the settler who killed the Dawabsha family in 2015.
The Israeli army announced that reserve officer Captain Harel Sharfeit (33 years old) was killed today, Friday, during battles in Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip.

Israeli reports indicated that the officer is from the Kochav Yaakov settlement established on the lands of the village of Kafr Aqab in the Jerusalem Governorate, and that he is the son of Rabbi Isaac Sharveit.
Sharfeit appeared in a video clip early last November planting a tree in Gaza and gifting it to Israeli prisoners who were violent settlers, most notably Amiram Ben-Uliel, the killer of the Dawabsha family, calling on the government to release them.

Ben-Uliel was among a group of settlers who attacked the Dawabsha family home in the village of Duma in the northern West Bank on July 31, 2015. They burned the infant Ali Dawabsha (18 months) alive while he was sleeping. His parents, Saad and Reham, died weeks later from their burns, while his brother Ahmed, who was in the hospital, survived. He was five years old at the time.
