The condition of the four soldiers seriously wounded in southern Lebanon yesterday is now stable, says Dr. Asaf Miller, director of Critical Care Medicine at Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa.
One of the wounded soldiers has been taken off a ventilator, Miller says. He is conscious and talking with his family, who are with him. The three others are still unconscious.
“We hope that the condition of the three other wounded soldiers will also improve in the coming days, and that they will also regain consciousness,” he says.
The four were seriously wounded, and two reservist soldiers were killed, after being hit by an explosive device in the southern Lebanon town of Majdal Zoun yesterday.
According to an initial IDF probe, at around noon on Wednesday, troops of the reserve brigade entered a structure in the town during efforts to demolish Hezbollah infrastructure. As they entered the building, an explosion occurred, killing and injuring the forces.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
