An Israeli officer was killed and another officer was seriously wounded during clashes in southern Lebanon on November 14, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced.
The IDF identified the slain officer as 21-years-old Lieutenant Ivri Dickshtein from the settlement of Eli in the occupied West Bank.
Dickshtein, a platoon commander in the Golani Brigade’s 51st Battalion, had led his platoon in an attack in a town in southern Lebanon. Amid the attack, the troops entered a building where they encountered at least five Hezbollah fighters. The platoon commander was killed and another officer was seriously wounded during the gun battle. Another soldier was also moderately hurt in the incident, according to the military.
Separately, a drone launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon impacted near the northern settlement of of Eliakim, wounding two IDF soldiers.
The drone had set off sirens for more than half an hour along Israel’s northern coast, including in the port city of Haifa. The two soldiers were admitted to Rambam Hospital in Haifa with shrapnel wounds. They were in moderate condition, the medical center said.
Hezbollah announced 32 attacks on November 14, most of which targeted IDF troops attempting to advance in southern Lebanon and military sites in northern Israel.
From its side, the IDF said on November 15 that its fighter jets struck several buildings and command centers belonging to Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force in the southern Lebanese town of Nabatieh overnight.
Additionally, in the past day, the military announced that it struck over 120 targets of Hezbollah in Lebanon, including weapon depots, command centers, cell, and numerous rocket launchers. Video footage showing some of the strikes were released.
The clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border first broke out after the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, with Hezbollah launching attacks in support of the Palestinian enclave. Israel escalated its attacks on Lebanon starting from September 17 and on September 27 it assassinated the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nassrallah.
The IDF escalated further on September 30 by launching a limited ground operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
All in all, the confrontation has so far resulted in 43 civilian deaths in Israel and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights as well as the deaths of at least 70 soldiers and security officers. On the Lebanese side, more than 3,300 people have been killed, including more than 500 members of Hezbollah.
