An Israeli soldier seriously wounded in a Hezbollah drone attack on a military base in northern Israel last month has succumbed to his wounds, the IDF announces.
The slain soldier is named as Sgt. First Class (res.) Efraim Ben Amram, 25, of the 188th Armored Brigade’s 53rd Battalion, from Yesud HaMa’ala.
Ben Amram was among 19 troops hurt in the drone attack against an army base in the Merom Golan area on June 30.
Daily attacks by Hezbollah on northern communities since Hamas’s October 7 onslaught have resulted in the deaths of 18 IDF soldiers and reservists and 12 civilians.
