The IDF releases the name of a soldier who was killed yesterday during an incident in which a civilian researcher entered southern Lebanon without required approvals and was also killed.
The slain soldier is named as Sgt. Gur Kehati, 20, of the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion, from Nir Banim.
Kehati was killed alongside Ze’ev Erlich, 71, who entered southern Lebanon yesterday with a senior officer to visit an archaeological site. Two Hezbollah gunmen were hiding in the area and ambushed them.
