Colonel Roy Levy (left), 44, was the leader of the Multidimensional Unit - a secretive group of commandos established to tackle Hamas using drones and other modern warfare techniques. He was killed as his forces battled Hamas fighters in the community of Re'im, near the border with Gaza where as many as 260 festivalgoers were killed when violence erupted on Saturday. The Israeli Defense Force said Levy 'led his team bravely, engaged [the terrorists], and entered the battle first in Kibbutz Re'im, in order to save citizens who were besieged in their homes.' Around 10 Palestinian terrorists were killed during Saturday's battle, the IDF said. It added in its statement on Levy's death that it 'shares in the family's grief.'
