The ‘Israeli’ military says four of its soldiers have been killed, including the commander of the 52nd Battalion of the Givati Brigade, during what it described as “difficult and complex” fighting in southern Lebanon. A senior officer was also wounded in the same incident.

The announcement comes amid reports of intense overnight clashes along the southern Lebanese front involving ‘Israeli’ forces and Hezbollah fighters.

According to ‘Israeli’ media reports, the incident took place near the town of Kafartabnit, where a tank belonging to the 52nd Battalion was hit by an unidentified object, resulting in fatalities and injuries among troops.

Sources cited in ‘Israeli’ outlets said at least 17 soldiers were wounded in the same operation, while the identity of the weapon used remains under investigation. Officials are reportedly assessing whether it was a drone or a guided missile.

The ‘Israeli’ public broadcaster confirmed that a senior officer from Division 36 was among those injured in the fighting.
