Ten soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were injured last Wednesday after being directly hit by explosive drones launched by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon
Two of them were seriously injured.
In the first attack, Colonel Meir Biderman, commander of the 401st Armored Brigade, was seriously injured in the western region of southern Lebanon.
A reserve lieutenant colonel and a reserve enlisted soldier were also injured, one moderately and the other slightly.
Meanwhile, the brigade’s chief of staff temporarily assumed command of the unit.
In a second drone attack, also on the same day, one soldier was seriously injured, three soldiers suffered moderate injuries, and three others were slightly injured.
All the soldiers were taken to hospitals and their families were informed.
Despite an existing ceasefire with Lebanon, clashes between the Israeli army and Hezbollah in the south of the country remain intense.
The terrorist group, supported by Iran, has resumed attacks on Israel with rockets and drones following recent events in the region, prompting Israel to respond with air strikes and ground operations to protect its border.
