The Golan Regional Council announced this evening (Saturday night) with great sadness the death of Captain Shahar Gamla, an officer in the Egoz Patrol, who was seriously injured in combat in Lebanon on Friday night.
Gamla Ya'd, 24 years old from Moshav Natur in the Golan Heights, died this morning from his wounds, after a fight for his life.
Shahar is the son of Yishai and Leah (Leahle), director of the children and youth department at the Golan Community Center, and older brother to Rotem and Nitzan.
The council noted that Shahar's roots "are planted deep in the Golan soil that he loved.".
Gamla's family chose to donate his organs, thereby continuing to save the lives of others.
The Golan Regional Council said: "The Golan community embraces Lahla, Yishai and the children, the extended family in Moshav Keshet and the Natur community.".
It was also stated: "The council and the entire Golan salute the IDF soldiers who continue to defend the country even today.".
The funeral of Shahar Gamla will be held tomorrow at Moshav Keshet. Details of the funeral and swearing-in will be announced later.
