Staff Sergeant Naveh Leshem, a soldier in the 12th Battalion, Golani Brigade, was killed in battle while fighting in the southern Gaza Strip, the IDF announced on Tuesday.
Leshem was 20 years old from the West Bank settlement of Nokdim.
The Gush Etzion Regional Council released a statement of grief and solidarity in mourning with the Leshem family, adding that Leshem was the 20th individual from the Gush Etzion region killed since October 7.
Leshem's funeral will occur at Jerusalem's Har Herzl Military Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, but will only be attended by family given the ongoing Home Front Command restrictions against large public gatherings, the council added.
Additional soldiers seriously injured
The IDF said that in the incident in which Leshem was killed, a combat officer and three soldiers from the Golani Brigade's 12th Battalion were seriously injured.
The soldiers were evacuated to receive medical treatment in hospitals, and their families were notified.
