The IDF announces the death of an officer killed during fighting in southern Lebanon yesterday.
The slain soldier is named as Cpt. Ben Zion Falach, 21, of the Paratroopers Brigade’s 202nd Battalion, from Nitzanei Oz.
His death brings the IDF’s toll in the ground offensive against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon to nine.
Falach was killed in a separate incident on Wednesday, and not in the battles in which eight other soldiers were killed.
