The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that its troops killed four fighters who infiltrated into Israeli territory from Lebanon early on January 14.
In a statement, the IDF said that the cell was spotted by troops carrying out a patrol in the Mount Dov region -the Israeli name for the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms- on the border.
The four fighters were thought to have managed to cross the border initially undetected due to heavy fog covering the mountain. There is no border fence in the Israeli-occupied region, which houses several military sites of the IDF but no settlements.
Israeli troops heard gunfire near them during their patrol and engaged the fighters, the IDF said, adding that artillery and mortars were launched to assist the troops during the fire exchange.
The IDF did not report any casualties in the incident. Nevertheless, Hebrew media said that four Israeli troops were wounded.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. The Hamas Movement and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad both launched raids from southern Lebanon after the outbreak of the war in the Gaza Strip. Hezbollah has been also launching attacks against the IDF using rockets, guided missiles and drones since then.
So far, the clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli have resulted in four civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of nine IDF soldiers. On the Lebanese side, more than 180 have been killed. The toll includes 150 Hezbollah fighters, 14 of whom were killed in Syria, 25 Palestinians, a Lebanese soldier, and at least 24 civilians.
think you may want to check this article. wounded (title) or killed (main text)… and then 4 of this and 4 of that….
4 israelis were wounded, says the tile. the main text says 4 “fighters” – the attackers (not israelis) died.
its not looking good for the squatters, surrounded by hostile forces all because of their own hostility
legless, armless and eyeless in gaza to paraphrase aldous huxley. shlomo is out of its depth but imagines it can keep swimming in the blood of innocents and still collect its bs hollow co$t tribute from its goyim cattle. nah….karma is coming to kick juice a$$.
idf will have to go to the litani river, me and my sheckelsteins are forced to stay in a 3 star hotel all this time. its very inconvenient you know, the goyim need to work harder to upgrade us to a 5 star hotel during these tribulations
hezbollah is ready to welcome the idf, i hear they dug some graves for them already
it is well known that israeli soldiers can’t be killed by hamas or hezbollah soldiers, they only can be killed by friendly fire!
