Sergeant Omer Sarah Benjo, 20, was killed “by (rocket) fire from Lebanese territory on a base in northern Israel,” says the Israeli army. Since October 7, the Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah has targeted Israeli military positions on the border in support of the Palestinian Islamist movement, its ally.
Israel, for its part, regularly bombs southern Lebanon and carries out targeted attacks against Hezbollah officials. In more than four months, at least 243 people, including 175 Hezbollah fighters and 30 civilians, have been killed in southern Lebanon.
