Two special forces from an elite unit of the Israeli Air Force, which previously had virtually no losses, were killed in the Gaza Strip.

Two members of the Israeli Air Force special forces unit were killed in the northern Gaza Strip. This was reported by the press service of the Israeli Air Force.

The deceased servicemen served in what is considered one of the most elite aviation special forces unit Unit 669 of the Israeli Air Force.



This unit is used to carry out operational evacuations of downed pilots, surrounded special forces or wounded soldiers from enemy-controlled territories. UH-60 Black Hawk and CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters are used to transport special forces groups.


During an operation in northern Gaza last night, 26-year-old team leader Ben Shelley of Unit 669 and 20-year-old special forces soldier Rom Hecht were killed. The Air Force press service does not provide details about the deaths of Israeli servicemen. They probably took part in one of the evacuation measures.


It can be assumed that the special forces had to evacuate either prisoners whose location became known to the Israeli special services, or soldiers from another unit who found themselves in a difficult situation.

Note that this special unit 669 of the Israeli Air Force for its history suffered very few losses. In 18 years of fighting in Lebanon, it lost only two fighters. Therefore, the very fact that two special forces soldiers died at once, including the group commander, indicates that the military operation in the Gaza Strip is not going very easily for the IDF, despite the optimistic and belligerent statements of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Galant and other high-ranking officials. It is possible that the losses of the Israeli army in the conflict may actually be higher than the figures officially cited by the press service of the Israeli Defense Forces.

      It would be better to "bury" the list and forget about it! I am not interested in the faces of the dead Israeli fascists! It is enough to know their number!

    Since these Jews were shot down during the “operational evacuations of downed pilots” (this is their specialization, however), it means that some kind of gyrowing aircraft was also shot down. Fine!

      So, it seems that 8 Israelis died, among them one colonel and one lieutenant colonel. They were ambushed.

      The damage to the economy is unreal! The first problem is an 80% reduction in the flow of repatriates, and this is likely to last for a long time. The second is the flight of Israelis from the country, according to official data 500 people. The third is direct damage from the fall in stock prices, the decline in the shekel, the disruption of transport logistics due to threats from the Houthis. And, of course, a long-term tarnished face.
      By the way, no one knows if the Mediterranean Sea has yet flooded from the other ends of the tunnels? Otherwise he will drown the Jews with their own efforts...
      According to preliminary data, at the current stage Israel has 500 people killed by AOL and 5 wounded, of which 000 will remain disabled. And before the capture of Gaza there are still seven miles on reindeer...

    This is a trifle, there is no war without losses.
    But the fact that the son of Minister Gadi Eisenkot, the former chief of the IDF General Staff, died - this honestly amazed me!

    Revealed: the son of Minister Eisenkot died in the operation to return the bodies of the hostages
    ...during this operation, Gal Meir Eisenkot, the son of the minister in the military cabinet, Gadi Eisenkot, was killed.

      Chased an easy career in politics (with such a dad), career ended in Gaza. And no need speakthat our children and husbands of the "powerful of this world" do not die. Everything is freely available. The disclosure of the death of high-ranking relatives in Gaza, IDF soldiers. This is a PR campaign on blood, Netanyahu is not to blame!

        We are completely violet about who died at the hands of the IDF general, the more the better. I hope Israel’s victory will turn out to be a Pyrrhic victory. The world turns out to be not unipolar and not even bipolar as under the USSR, but much polar as under modern Russia in 2023. Suck up the feces with spoons, and your own .

    Strange, 20! years old elite "special forces" (c) Maddison... well, 26 years can still be believed... but 20... apparently there was a high-ranking nipple.
    As much as I wouldn’t like it... but let’s say Randal Shugart and Gary Gordon.... These are the elite and they didn’t walk under the table then. Yes, I understand that this is PR, etc. I just cited a case that many people know. But the act itself... they knew what they were getting into. Enemies must also be respected soldier Because by the will of fate I found myself in almost a similar situation.
    Courage in battle, even if it is your enemy, is worthy of respect. You can downvote and criticize. But age at this moment really confuses me. For me, they simply jumped the gun with their swords and got what they deserved... and the fact that they lost 2 fighters... 100% that they simply did not participate in anything and therefore did not lose.
    ZY My platoon situation is like this... 2 from 1999 to 2006, 4 were wounded, incl. +i. In 131 in 5th ke, 2 more were wounded... in the 3rd North Military District. Under salt, red estuary and work. Non-refundable. 2nd 300...

      The bulk of the Israeli army are either conscripts or reservists; there are not many contract soldiers. Preparation for 669 is about a year and a half, maybe 8 years, I don’t remember exactly. Then the continuation of the term plus a year and a half of the contract.

        In fact, I have a teacher at SVO and just a good person. Call sign Grandfather... a sniper still in Afghanistan, they were afraid of him like fire... he walks around with a good old mosquito. It went through such copper pipes that I probably only walked under the table. He's almost 75. All I know... I wasn’t taught in school, maybe that’s why I survived. He laughs, all your SVD/KSVK/ASS are from the evil one... and a lover of alcohol for this purpose... he says it relieves tremors laughing good

      No, it’s your Lop-Eared devil Adik who likes to equate Hamas with ISIS. In the Gaza Strip under Hamas, representatives of many faiths coexisted peacefully. Did you forget how many Christian churches your cannibal brothers bombed along with the people? One of them was from the 5th century and existed under different civilizations and systems. But then the barbarians came - the Zionist cannibals. And you also blather about ISIS... Yes, ISIS is no match for you! In terms of the speed of extermination of children and women, ISIS are simply angels compared to the Zionist fascists!

      The favorite pastime of the Zionist fascists is to call any critic an anti-Semite (what kind of Khazars are Semites anyway?), or a troll. Are you used to shutting everyone up? But no matter, times are different - now it’s difficult for your brother to control TG channels and other non-mass media. Previously, it was enough to buy up large newspapers and TV channels and that’s it! The most terrible thing for Zionists is access to information. TG channels, Tik Tok, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Get used to it!
