The Hezbollah gunman who killed an IDF officer in southern Lebanon overnight was killed by troops today, the military announces.
In the overnight incident, the Hezbollah operative fired at troops of the Golani Brigade as they entered a structure in the village of Deir Siryan, killing Cpt. David Hazutt, 21, a platoon commander, and wounding another soldier. The operative then fled.
Following extensive searches in the area, Israeli troops located the gunman hiding in a nearby building and killed him, the IDF says.
