The death of Cohen, part of the national lacrosse team, was announced by the Israel Lacrosse Association.

The 24-year-old, who represented Israel at the 2016 U19 World Championships, was based out of Ashkelon, which is one of the closest Israeli cities to the Gaza Strip.

Israel Lacrosse Association described Cohen as a "remarkable young man" who "touched the lives of everyone he encountered".

USA Lacrosse also posted a tribute for Cohen on X, formerly known as Twitter.

According to reports, Hamas killed more than 1,300 people while more than 1,500 lost their lives as Irael responded by dropping 6,000 bombs weighing 4,000 tonnes on Gaza.
