An ‘Israeli’ soldier was killed and three others wounded by a Hezbollah explosive device in southern Lebanon on Friday, the ‘Israeli’ military said on Saturday.
The incident took place hours after the ceasefire in Lebanon started.
He is identified as Warrant Officer (reserve) Barak Kalfon, 48 years old.
According to a probe by the ‘Israeli’ military cited by “The Times of Israel”, the soldiers went inside a building in the village of Jebbayn, where an explosive device by Hezbollah detonated, killing the soldiers and wounding three others; two moderately and one lightly.
The probe said the device was likely automatically triggered and not remotely detonated.
He is the first ‘Israeli’ soldier to be killed since the ceasefire in Lebanon took effect.
The toll of dead ‘Israeli’ soldiers in the fighting against Hezbollah has risen to 13, according to the military’s numbers.
