i24 News — The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Friday announced the death of Sharif Sawaid, an Israeli civilian who died of wounds received in a Hezbollah attack on Har Dov in northern Israel.
The victim was doing infrastructure work in the area, the Israeli military said. A Walla news report suggested he was a truck driver for the Israel Defense Force (IDF) from the Arab village of Ras al-Ein, near the Lebanon border.
According to the Israel Defense Force (IDF) statement, Israeli fighter jets struck Hezbollah targets in the area of Chebaa in southern Lebanon, “including a weapons storage facility and a launcher used by the terrorist organization.” Additionally, the Israeli soldiers “fired to remove a threat in the area.”
Israeli fighter jets also struck Hezbollah operational infrastructure in the Kfarchouba area and a military compound in Ain El Tineh in southern Lebanon.
In Israel’s north, Hezbollah terrorists have been firing rockets at Israel daily since Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre, leading Israeli forces to strike back. Tensions have been escalating between both sides, fueling concerns that the conflict in Gaza — the Palestinian enclave ruled by Hamas, another Iran-backed Islamist terrorist group, to Israel’s south — could escalate into a regional conflict.
Tens of thousands of Israelis have been forced to flee their homes in northern Israel due to constant Hezbollah attacks.
