An Israeli reservist officer was killed in northern Israel by a rocket launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon earlier today, amid the terror group’s major barrage.
The slain soldier is named as Maj. (res.) Itay Galea, 38, a deputy company commander in the Yiftah Reserve Armored Brigade’s 8679th unit, from Ramat Gan.
Hezbollah fired some 200 rockets and 20 drones at northern Israel, in response to the killing of a top commander in the terror group in an IDF strike yesterday.
