The soldiers were identified as:
- Master Sgt. (res.) Constantine Sushko, H’yd, 30, of Tel Aviv of the Combat Engineering Corps’ 7086th Battalion. He fell in battle over Shabbos in the central Gaza Strip.
- Cpt. Harel Ittah, H’yd, 22, of Netanya, a team commander in the Givati Brigade. He succumbed to his wounds on Shabbos after being injured on December 22 in a battle in the southern Gaza Strip.

Is there any way for the Matzav to get the full Hebrew name of anyone that is Niftar. This way, people who see the name/s can learn Mishnayoth for the Niftar. Many of these soldiers don’t have anyone that will learn for them. If you can find out the name, even at a later time, it will be such a zechus for the Niftar.
Another request: Have permanent place on your site that will list full Hebrew names of anyone that was niftar in the war.
i remember at Reb Kalman Krohn’s levaya, his brother, Reb Peysach Krohn mentioned how Reb Kalman was very busy finding out the full Hebrew names of soldiers that were killed and he got people to learn Mishnayoth for them.
