Sgan aluf Salman Habaka (Hebrew: סלמאן חבקה; August 1990 – 2 November 2023) was an Israeli military officer who was killed in action during the Israel–Hamas war. Born in the Northern District village of Yanuh-Jat into a Druze family, he joined the Armored Corps of the Israel Defence Forces in 2009 and was subsequently appointed commander of the 188th Armored Brigade's 53rd Battalion. While fighting in the Gaza Strip in 2023, Habaka was killed by Palestinian militants.

Salman studied at the "Acre Kzine Yam" in middle school and high school, before the military recruitment he spent a whole year at the "Kerem El" pre-military training school and in August 2009 he joined the Israel Defence Forces and started his military career in the Armored Corps.

During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, he became known for his actions at Be'eri, the location of the Be'eri massacre of the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel; he was one of the first soldiers to arrive in the area as the scope of Hamas' incursion was becoming known, having travelled in two tanks with a number of his soldiers to join a paratrooper contingent already at the location. Upon the orders of lieutenant colonel Barrak Hiram, Habaka shelled houses before soldiers searched them for hostages. On 2 November 2023, he was killed in action in Gaza during the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip.

A member of the Druze minority from Yanuh-Jat, Salman built his house, got married and started a family. Salman was a loving family man and a very active individual in society who always contributed. He left behind his parents, three brothers and two sisters, a wife and a two-year-old baby.
