The IDF says two Hezbollah operatives who opened fire on troops of the Givati Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit this morning were killed.
During the exchange of fire at around 8 a.m., one officer was severely hurt and the unit’s commander, a lieutenant colonel, was lightly hurt.
Immediately after the encounter, the Givati troops carried out scans in the area, during which they “located and eliminated two terrorists from the incident,” the IDF says.
