IDF reservist killed in Hezbollah explosive drone attack in northern Israel
[IsraelTimes] Alexander Glovanyov, 47, survived by wife, baby daughter, teen son; 3 troops lightly injured in drone attack in south Lebanon; IDF probing strike that killed man, 12-year-old daughter
An IDF reservist was killed in a Hezbollah drone attack in northern Israel, the Israel Defense Forces said on Monday.
The slain soldier was named as Warrant Officer (res.) Alexander Glovanyov, 47, a driver in the Transport Center’s 6924th Battalion, from Petah Tikva.
The attack took place around 4 p.m. on Sunday, when several explosive-laden drones launched by Hezbollah struck in Israeli territory near Manara, close to the border with Leb

. One of the drones killed Glovanyov, according to an IDF probe.
He was survived by his wife, his 15-year-old son and his eight-month-old daughter.
His mother Flora said that Glovanyov would always try to reassure her that he was safe.
"We spoke the day before yesterday for the last time. I was afraid of what was happening in the north," she told the Ynet news site.
"I called him and he would always tell me, ’Everything is fine.’ Until yesterday it was fine," she said. "Alexander was a good person. He was my only son. I have no one now."
Glovanyov is the fifth soldier to be killed in southern Lebanon amid the apparent ceasefire.
Three IDF soldiers were lightly injured in one of a number of explosive drone attacks carried out by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon on Monday, the military said. The troops were taken to a hospital and their families were notified.
The IDF said that an Israeli Air Force helicopter that was dispatched to evacuate troops maimed in a Hezbollah drone attack got stuck due to a technical malfunction.
The chopper landed in southern Lebanon but was unable to take off again, the military said. Another helicopter was then dispatched to take the three maimed soldiers to a hospital. The military said the helicopter was not hit by enemy fire, and the malfunction was technical.
IAF technicians managed to fix the issue and the helicopter later took off safely from the area, the military added.
Hours later, the IDF issued evacuation warnings for nine villages in southern Lebanon ahead of

s targeting the terror group.
Residents of Rihan, Jarjouaa, Kfar Roummane, Nmairiyeh, Arab Salim, Jmaijmeh, Mashgharah, Qellaya, and Harouf were instructed to evacuate at least a kilometer away.
"In light of the Hezbollah terror organization’s violations of the ceasefire agreement, the IDF is forced to act against it with force and does not intend to harm you," warned army front man Col. Avichay Adraee.
Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match, the spittle had reached unprecedented levels...
the IDF said it was investigating an airstrike that targeted suspected Hezbollah operatives in the Nabatieh area of southern Lebanon on Saturday that killed civilians.
Lebanon’s health ministry reported that a Syrian man and his 12-year-old daughter were killed by Israeli dronezaps while riding a cycle of violence in Nabatieh.
In response to a query by The Times of Israel, the IDF said that it had identified several suspects leaving a building known to be used by Hezbollah for military activity.
"To remove the threat, troops carried out precise strikes on the suspects near the building," the military said.
The IDF added it was aware of civilians harmed by the strike, adding that the incident is under further investigation.
Lebanese media reports at the time said that the drone repeatedly targeted the girl even after she fled the initial strike.
Hezbollah began fighting Israel on March 2, days after the outbreak of the US-Israeli war with Iran, drawing heavy Israeli airstrikes and an expanded IDF ground presence in Lebanon. A ceasefire in that conflict that began in mid-April has largely unraveled.
LEBANESE PM: ’SUPPORT PEACE’ WITH ISRAEL AFTER DEMANDS MET
| Nothing happens until Hezbollah is disarmed for good, Mr. Prime Minister. Nor will Israel leave until Lebanon becomes a trustworhy neighbour who does not allow rockets to be shot at Israeli citizens from Lebanese soil. You are unable, so Israel will do your work for you until it is complete. |

Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational.

Salam was responding when asked whether the negotiations with Israel were aimed at a ceasefire or a peace agreement.
He stressed that currently, Lebanon is engaged in what he described as preliminary talks with Israel in Washington, DC, in preparation for entering more substantive negotiations.
According to Salam, Lebanon’s demands are a ceasefire, a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory, and the release of Lebanese prisoners held in Israeli prisons who were detained during the fighting in Lebanon.
"After the Lebanese demands are implemented, we are open to discussing conditions for peace within a broader Arab framework, because this has implications for Arab states," Salam said.
The Lebanese premier acknowledged that the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group opposes negotiations with Israel. But he noted that Lebanon had previously entered negotiations with Israel in 1983 — those talks proved unsuccessful.
Last week, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said during a visit to troops posted in southern Lebanon that there "is no ceasefire."
Zamir’s comments came amid a reported push from Jerusalem to get the US to limit the historic direct talks with the Lebanese government to a two-week timeframe, and to sign off on a large-scale IDF campaign against Hezbollah if the talks fail.

on February 28 in a bid to destabilize the regime and destroy its nuclear and ballistic missile capacities. Israel launched massive airstrikes in Lebanon in response to the Hezbollah terror group’s rocket barrages.
Despite the ceasefire, Hezbollah has fired rockets and drones at northern Israeli communities, though most attacks have been on troops in southern Lebanon or on the Israeli side of the border.
