Prime Minister Yair Lapid said, "Major
Bar Pelah, a warrior and a commander, the deputy
commander of Nahal, was killed tonight in operational activity
and there are no words to console the family, his partner and
friends for the loss of their dearest. Bar fought terrorism with
every fiber of his being and led his soldiers in his last hour.
The operational activity in which he was killed thwarted a
major attack and saved human lives. We are all hurting his
demise with you."
