An IDF officer was killed in a Hezbollah anti-tank guided missile attack in southern Lebanon earlier today, the military announces.
The slain officer is named as Cpt. Eitan Shmuel Lemberg, 21, of the 7th Armored Brigade’s 75th Battalion, from Mishmar HaShiv’a.
At around 4 p.m., a Hezbollah operative fired an anti-tank missile at an Israeli tank operating north of the Litani River, killing Lemberg.
Immediately following the incident, the IDF says that it struck Hezbollah infrastructure in the area from the air and with artillery.
