"This is one of the best units of its kind in the world," Danino said.  "The professionalism of its fighters, their bravery, and determination is what ended the complex incident [near Eilat]," he added.
"In this difficult battle, Senior Warrant Officer Paskal Avraham was killed, may his memory be blessed," Danino said. "He was a fighter who turned into a legend during his lifetime."
