An IDF reservist was killed in a Hezbollah drone attack in southern Lebanon this morning, the military announces.
The slain soldier is named as Sgt. First Class (res.) Omer Moshe Gaeldor, 30, of the Golani Brigade’s logistics unit, from Jerusalem.
According to an initial IDF probe, Gaeldor and three other soldiers were hit by an explosive-laden drone launched by Hezbollah during a “security operation” carried out by the logistics team around two kilometers from the Israeli border in southern Lebanon. The team was providing security for the Golani Brigade, which was operating deeper in southern Lebanon.
Gaeldor was killed and the other three troops were seriously wounded by the blast.
