A Brazilian military man who served the army of Israel died in the Gaza Strip. The death of Ariel Lubliner, 34, was communicated by the country’s armed forces on Saturday (30), and later confirmed by the country’s Minister of Defense, Israel Katz. The main thing is that he was shot by a teammate.
“In the name of the entire defense sector, send my deepest condolences to the family of the late Ariel Lubliner (…). I would like to embrace your family at this difficult time, send my best recovery votes to injured and strengthen our combatants,” Katz said in a social network.
The Israeli Federation of São Paulo also lamented the death of Ariel Lubliner.
“Ariel fell into combat defending the state of Israel, the homeland of the Jewish people, and his memory will remain alive among us.
In 2021, Ariel wrote in his networks: ‘Faced with Hamas’s threat, Israel has the right to defend itself. It has the right to fight terrorist forces whose main function is its destruction. And those who deny Israel’s right to defend themselves are nonetheless accomplices of terrorism. ‘
Today, your words echo even more strength. Ariel will be remembered as a brave young, lucid and committed to the truth and the defense of life.
We sympathize deeply with your family and friends in Israel and Brazil. May your memory be a blessing ”
The Brazilian soldier worked in the Israeli Army reserve and was part of the Logistics Group 6036. He was summoned to serve on October 7, 2023, the same date on which Hamas launched a devastating attack on Israel, which began the conflict in the Middle East. Investigations from Israel’s Armed Forces point out that he has lived in the country since 2015.
