2 hours ago|An ‘Israeli’ officer was killed in southern Lebanon, the ‘Israeli’ military said in a statement on Tuesday.
He is identified as Maj. (res.) Itamar Sapir, 27 years old, a deputy company commander in the 551st Brigade’s 7008th Battalion.
Sapir was killed on Tuesday morning in the village of Qouzah, north of Ayta ash-Shab, when a Hezbollah fighter opened fire from inside a building.
Other soldiers were wounded in the incident, Hebrew media says.
He is the eighth ‘Israeli’ soldier to be killed in southern Lebanon since the start of the ceasefire in April, and the 21th since the start of the Hezbollah-‘Israel’ hostilities in early March.
