by CrownHeights.info

The IDF announced the death of three soldiers over Yom Tov, two killed in a drone attack in the Northern Golan Heights and one in southern Lebanon.

The soldiers killed in the Northern olan Heights were named as:

Sgt. Daniel Aviv Haim Sofer, 19, a signals officer cadet in the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion, from Ashkelon.

Cpl. Tal Dror, 19, an IT specialist with the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion, from Jerusalem.

According to an IDF probe, two explosive-laden drones were launched from Iraq in the attack, one of which was shot down by air defenses and the second impacted an army base in the northern Golan Heights.

In addition to the two slain soldiers, another 24 were wounded in the attack, including two seriously, one moderately, and 21 lightly.

The IDF named the officer killed during fighting in southern Lebanon as Cpt. Ben Zion Falach, 21, of the Paratroopers Brigade’s 202nd Battalion, from Nitzanei Oz.

Falach was killed in a separate incident on Wednesday, and not in the battles in which eight other soldiers were killed.

His death brings the IDF’s toll in the ground offensive against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon to nine.
