10 soldiers, including brigade commander, hurt in separate Hezbollah drone attacks
[IsraelTimes] Two attacks on troops in south Lebanon cause range of injuries, commander of 401st Armored Brigade seriously hurt; IDF strikes Hezbollah weapons site in clinic
Ten IDF soldiers were maimed, including two seriously, in two separate explosive drone attacks launched by Hezbollah on troops operating in southern Leb
...home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade....on Wednesday, as limited fighting with the Iran-backed terror group persisted despite a ceasefire.
In one of the incidents, the commander of the 401st Armored Brigade, Col. Meir Biderman, 41, was seriously maimed by an explosive drone, the IDF said.
The military said that Col. (res.) H., who currently serves as the brigade’s chief of staff, will temporarily fill his position.
A reserve lieutenant colonel serving in the 162nd Division was moderately maimed in the same incident, while an additional reservist sustained light injuries, according to the IDF.
In another Hezbollah drone blast, a female soldier was seriously maimed, a combat officer and two additional soldiers sustained moderate injuries, and two more were lightly maimed, the army said.
All of the maimed were evacuated to a hospital for treatment, and their families were notified.
Also on Wednesday, the IDF published footage of a strike it carried out earlier in the week on a Hezbollah weapons production site in the Tyre area of southern Lebanon that had been established inside a building previously used as a civilian clinic and located meters away from a mosque.
The IDF said secondary explosions were identified following the strike, indicating the presence of weapons inside the building.
The military echoed accusations it made earlier on Wednesday, when the IDF announced a separate strike on a civilian building allegedly housing Hezbollah surveillance equipment in southern Lebanon, with the military again accusing the terror group of using civilian infrastructure in operations against Israel.
According to the military, the surveillance system, which it struck on Tuesday, was used by Hezbollah operatives to monitor and direct activity against troops in the area.
In a separate incident, the unit also killed a Hezbollah operative who the IDF said was operating from a warehouse used to store weapons. The military said secondary explosions were also identified following that strike.
Later Wednesday, the Kan public broadcaster reported that the IDF is investigating a suspected looting incident involving a reserve battalion commander with the rank of lieutenant colonel, after troops allegedly took a generator from southern Lebanon and brought it back to Israel.
Kan reported that information recently reached the officer’s commanders alleging that the battalion commander, another officer and several soldiers loaded the generator onto their jeep while operating in Lebanon and drove it back into Israeli territory.
According to the report, the incident came to light after soldiers informed their commanders, who then instructed the battalion commander to return the generator to the location from which it had been taken.
Responding to the report, the IDF said the incident was carried out "without authorization and in violation of mandatory procedures," adding that the military "views any deviation from the orders and norms expected of its soldiers with great severity and acts accordingly."
The incident comes less than a month after IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir warned senior commanders that incidents of looting by troops "stain the entire IDF."
Twenty IDF soldiers and one Defense Ministry civilian contractor have been killed in southern Lebanon amid fighting against Hezbollah. Two civilians were also killed by Hezbollah rockets, and an Israeli civilian was mistakenly killed in the north by Israeli artillery shelling.
