“This morning, an IDF soldier, Sergeant Ronen Lubarsky, 20, from Rehovot succumbed to his wounds. Sgt Ronen Lubarsky, a combat soldier from the Duvdevan Unit, was severely injured during operational activity in Judea & Samaria on Thursday,” the IDF wrote on its Twitter page on late Saturday.
Lubarsky was posthumously promoted to staff sergeant, according to the IDF.

The soldier was severely injured during a raid in the West Bank near the city of Ramallah as part of an operation to detain suspected terrorists.
