The commanding officer of the Nahal Infantry Brigade, Col. Jonathan\u00a0Steinberg, was killed on Saturday during clashes with Hamas terrorists in the Kerem Shalom area near the border with the Gaza Strip, the military announced.<\/p>\n

The Israel Defense Forces said Steinberg, 42, from the southern town of Shomria, was en route to the site of clashes being managed by his subordinates when he encountered a terrorist who killed him.<\/p>\n

He was the most senior official confirmed dead in the fighting as of Saturday night, and one of the most senior officers to have been killed in combat in recent memory.<\/p>\n

The Gaza-based terror group launched an\u00a0unprecedented assault<\/a> on Israel in the morning, firing thousands of rockets and sending hundreds of gunmen into Israeli communities by land, sea and air, killing at least 250 people and injuring over 1,500 by midnight.<\/p>\n

The multi-pronged attack, coming a day after Israel marked the 50th anniversary of the surprise invasion on Yom Kippur, caught the Israeli military and security forces completely by surprise.<\/p>\n
