Six Israeli soldiers were killed in a clash with Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on November 13.
The clash took place as Israeli troops moved into the second line of towns across from the border as the IDF said it had further expanded its ground operation in southern Lebanon. The slain troops all served in the Golani Brigade’s 51st Battalion.
According to an initial IDF probe, the soldiers were killed in an exchange of fire with at least four Hezbollah fighters inside a building in a town in southern Lebanon. At least one other soldier was moderately wounded in the clash. Lebanese media said that the town where the deadly incident took place is Bint Jbeil.
This was the second deadliest day for the IDF in southern Lebanon after eight soldiers were killed by Hezbollah on October 2.
Hezbollah announced 24 operations on November 13, including an attack with tactical ballistic missiles on the HaKirya base close to the central Israeli city of Tel Aviv where the headquarters of the General Staff and other key facilities of the IDF are located.
From its side, the IDF continued to launch strikes against Hezbollah targets, including weapons production and storage sites as well as command centers, from southern Lebanon to the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, Beirut. Casualties, including civilians, were reported by Lebanese media.
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 69 soldiers and security officers. On the Lebanese side, more than 3,300 people have been killed, including more than 500 members of Hezbollah.

good, more of the same – the jews have depleted their stock of weapons and have the airdominance left. but as is well known airdomnance is one thing but it doesn’t win wars, wars are won on the ground.and that’s where the jewish scum have no advantage. the continuous attacks by drones on the jewish society forces the jews to defensive works they don’t have!,
it is the same bullshit everyday. is sf so desperate? will they even “inform” us how many babies were born in israel and that today it was 3 less then yesterday ? seems like obsession with spamming. 6 soldiers is nothing. even 60 or 600 soldiers is nothing. they have f35. and b-52 in qatar. they take off in and in iran 100.000 people die in 30 minutes. and other 100.000 in the next 30 minutes. wave after wave. there is nothing that can stop that
explain something to me then : for you, russia is making no progress in ukraine, but israel is winning in lebanon. how do you reconcile that?
putin is extremely risk averse and doesn’t utilize his major advantage in this war (air power)
the jews are not afraid to bomb the living hell out of everything, even with iranian sams.
perhaps the f35’s are just much better than russian su’s at evading radar.
putin can win easy against israel but putin will not attack
btw since you bring up babies, fertility rate in yemen is 3.6, iraq and palestine 3.3 and israel 2.9. see the problem right there? israel has f35 and b52 in qatar? 🤡 do you know how long it takes for a b52 to “scramble”? and long it takes for iranian hypersonic missiles to reach qatar? scott ritter has already explained how retarded it is to station b52 in qatar
qatar needs to stop renewing the contract with centcom
go jump in front of a fast moving train pls!
this is not even an israeli war but a planned war by the deep state for mid-east hegemony. they may have to create a major false flag against the usa while beating the war drums to bring it on.
they are building toward a deep state assassination of trump blaming iran killing two birds with one sto9ne
and then iran enters the room toodaloo jewjew inbread 💥💥💥🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
face it, the idf is not the 1967 army. its called the tik tok army. desertion rates are very high in the idf reserves. they are paying mercs now, ethiopian falashas to fight for zion in exchange for citizenship. just compare the 2006 war with hezbollah. the advances today are much smaller. and hezbollah has taken more severe hits than in 2006.
