The Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya says the soldier seriously wounded in a Hezbollah explosive drone attack in northern Israel this morning is in serious condition but his life is not in danger.
The soldier, suffering from shrapnel and blast injuries, underwent a series of surgeries and is now hospitalized in the general intensive care unit, the hospital says.
Three people who suffered from smoke inhalation were treated in the emergency room and have been discharged.
Chief Warrant Officer Mahmood Amaria, 45, a tracker in the 300th “Baram” Regional Brigade, was killed in the attack.
