Omri and his team went in to clear another house in Khan Yunis.
After scanning a few rooms in the house, a powerful charge explodes, damaging the force and causing the whole house to collapse.
Omri loses consciousness and gets hurt badly.
While buried up to his head in the ruins, Omri manages with his remaining strength, in a moment of consciousness, to raise one of his hands and wave for help.
When one of the medics approached him, Omri began giving orders on how to treat him and managing the rescue from the ruins.
In result of the explosion, in addition to several serious injuries, Omri lost his left leg.
