Yosef Malachi Guedalia, a 22-year-old British and Israeli national, was killed in action by Hamas, it has been confirmed.<\/p>\n
The name of the member of the Duvdevan commando unit had first been reported by The Times of Israel.<\/p>\n
His identity as a British Israeli was first reported on Sunday by The Times and confirmed on Monday to the BBC by his family.<\/p>\n
The soldier was part of an anti-terror unit and was murdered as he confronted Hamas terrorists at the Kibbutz Kfar Aza – one of the hardest hit in the October 7 assault.<\/p>\n
Mr Guedalia saved at least one seriously wounded civilian and two more people from the kibbutz, repeatedly returning to the sieged area to help those under fire.<\/p>\n
Soldiers who were facing the terrorist alongside Mr Guedalia and his father David said the British national went back and forth the whole morning of the assault.<\/p>\n
A video also shows the soldier carrying out of the kibbutz an injured civilian who is now recovering in hospital, Mr Guedalia’s brother Asher said.<\/p>\n
The distraught sibling told the BBC: “He literally saved people minutes before he got shot.<\/p>\n
“He acted with heroism and determination, he continued to fight and didn’t think of himself or hesitate\u2026<\/p>\n
“He went in to rescue as many citizens as possible before they got murdered in their homes and to kill as many terrorists as he could.”<\/p>\n
His brother, he continued, was “always happy, there was no bad in him”.<\/p>\n
