Lebanon – The Israeli army announced on Tuesday that two reserve officers with the rank of major were killed in the explosion of an assault march launched from southern Lebanon yesterday.
The Israeli army allowed the publication of the names of Reserve Major Dan Kamhaji, 31 years old, from Kfar Oranim, and Reserve Major Nachman Natan Hertz, 31 years old, from Eliezer, two officers in Patrol Battalion 6551, Semi-Fire Formation 551.
The Ynet website said that the two officers were killed last night as a result of an explosive drone being hit near the Metulla settlement near the Lebanese border.
Yesterday, Monday, an armed Lebanese faction announced the implementation of an air attack with assault marches targeting a position of Israeli soldiers south of the Metulla settlement, confirming that their stability points were hit, their vehicles were destroyed and damaged, and that there were deaths and injuries among its ranks.
The headquarters of the 210th Golan Division at Nafah base was also targeted with dozens of Katyusha rockets, in response to an Israeli attack that targeted the Bekaa region, and targeted technical equipment at the Hadab Yarin site.
The official Lebanese News Agency reported on Monday that 3 Lebanese were injured in an Israeli air strike that targeted the town of Al-Safari in Baalbek, eastern Lebanon, at dawn.
In turn, the Israeli army said in a statement that Israeli fighter planes bombed a compound of an armed Lebanese faction in the Al-Safari area near Baalbek during the night.
An armed Lebanese faction and Israel have been exchanging fire across the border since October 8, and the South Lebanon Front is a front supporting Gaza, and a Lebanese faction has repeatedly confirmed that a ceasefire in Gaza alone will end its attacks on Israel.
The fighting has intensified in recent weeks, as Lebanese armed factions escalated their attacks on northern Israel, while the Israeli army carried out raids deep into Lebanon.
