The Israeli army said in a statement, “Sergeant Major (reserve) Yehezkel Azaria from Petah Tikva. He fell during operational activity in the Margaliot area. He was 53 years old when he was killed.”
Earlier, the Israeli army announced that it had bombed Hezbollah targets, including military centers and missile launch pads, with warplanes.
On the other hand, Hezbollah targeted a site where Israeli soldiers were holed up in the Birkat Risha area in the central region of southern Lebanon, according to a statement issued on Saturday.
The border region in southern Lebanon is witnessing a worsening military escalation between Israel and Hezbollah, since the Hamas movement launched an unprecedented surprise attack on October 7 inside Israel, which is launching a devastating bombardment and a ground operation in Gaza.
Hezbollah mainly carries out daily operations against Israeli military targets near the border, placing this within the framework of supporting the Gaza Strip.
Israel responds by bombing border areas, targeting what it describes as the movements of Hezbollah fighters and its facilities near the border.
The intensity of the bombing has increased recently, resulting in major destruction in some neighborhoods of the southern border villages.
The escalation in southern Lebanon resulted in the killing of 133 people, including 94 fighters in the ranks of Hezbollah and 17 civilians, including 3 journalists, in addition to a soldier in the Lebanese army, according to a tally prepared by Agence France-Presse.
On the other hand, the Israeli authorities reported that at least 10 people were killed on the Israeli side.
