The occupation army announces the killing of an Israeli soldier and the wounding of 8 near the Lebanese border


The occupation army announced that an Israeli soldier was killed and 8 others were injured after a drone launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon fell on the Harfish settlement, northern Israel.

The occupation army said in a statement on Thursday that First Sergeant Rafael Couders (39 years old) was killed near the border with Lebanon, and a female soldier was seriously injured in the same incident.

For its part, the official Hebrew Broadcasting Corporation said that a drone launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon fell on the Harfish settlement, wounding 10 Israelis, including 8 soldiers, and that ‘among the wounded soldiers was a female soldier who was seriously injured.’

During the process of evacuating the wounded, another drone bombed the same site while the warning sirens were not activated in the place, and without an attempt to intercept from the air defenses, according to what the authority reported.

It added, “The two drones exploded in succession against a group of soldiers as well as the rescue teams help
ing them.”

This led to a rise in the number of deaths of the Israeli occupation army on the border with Lebanon to 26, since the beginning of the war on the Gaza Strip.
