Staff Sergeant Nave Habshoosh named as fourth soldier killed in southern Lebanon tank incident

The Israeli military has identified Staff Sergeant Nave Habshoosh, 20, as the fourth soldier killed in a Hezbollah attack on an Israeli tank in southern Lebanon. Habshoosh, from Geva Binyamin, served in the 52nd Battalion of the 401st Brigade. The tank was operating in the area of the village of Tebnit when it was struck by the militant group.

Also killed in the same incident were Lt.-Col. Dor Gedalia Ben-Simhon, 32, Staff Sergeant Yoav Klein, 21, and Staff Sergeant Liav Kababia, 20, all from the same 52nd Battalion. Ben-Simhon had recently taken command of the battalion after his predecessor was seriously wounded in southern Lebanon.

In a separate, earlier incident overnight Friday, Hezbollah launched more than 50 projectiles at IDF positions in the Lebanon buffer zone. The military described this as a "blatant ceasefire violation." One soldier, Sgt. First Class Nir Ben-Ari, 21, from the Maglan Unit, is believed to be the sole fatality from these attacks, though 13 other soldiers sustained injuries. The IDF responded to these attacks by striking Hezbollah targets, including terrorists, weapons storage, and command centers in southern Lebanon.
