❗️Israel admits senior reserve officer killed in Lebanese resistance ambush, 10th killed since so-called ceasefire
The Israeli army has admitted that Major (Res.) Itamar Sapir, deputy company commander in the 7008th Battalion of the 551st “Half-Fire” Formation, was killed by the Lebanese resistance in south Lebanon.
Sapir was a senior reserve field officer in one of Israel’s main reserve paratrooper brigades, making him a significant officer casualty.
Channel 12 reported that the incident took place on Tuesday morning after invading Israeli occupation forces came under fire by the Lebanese resistance from the vicinity of a church in the Qawzah area. Sapir was struck during the exchange, and the Israeli army said it is carrying out operations to locate the fighter responsible.
Israeli Army Radio said a Hezbollah fighter opened fire on the officer, killing him instantly before withdrawing from the scene, while KAN reported that the ambush took place approximately 2.5 kilometers inside an area under Israeli control.
According to Channel 12, Sapir is the tenth invading Israeli soldier killed on the northern front since the so-called ceasefire with Lebanon was declared on 16 April.
The Israeli army has now acknowledged at least 21 soldiers killed in south Lebanon since March, while reporting that more than 910 troops have been wounded.
