Israeli military spokesperson Alon Ben David confirmed on Israeli television that five soldiers were killed in a military operation in southern Lebanon.
Ben David also said that Israel’s work in Lebanon is “near complete” and that they have achieved almost everything. “There may be more days left to manoeuvre to complete the dismantling of Hezbollah’s line of contact, and after that there is nothing more to do,” he added.
On Israel’s Channel 12, military correspondent Nir Dvori urged the need to make all eligible ultra-Orthodox Jewish men enlist in the Israeli military to “take pressure off the reservists” after 16 of them were killed in combat last week.
He said: “All the government ministers sit there, including the ultra-Orthodox ministers. And I ask what goes through their hearts, what goes through them when they hear that name after name is being read and their public ultimately does not bear the burden.”
