The Israeli occupation confirmed on Thursday evening the deaths of five soldiers from the Golani Brigade during intense battles in southern Lebanon, where the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, continues to inflict significant losses on Israeli forces.

Israeli media reported that four Hezbollah fighters attacked Golani Brigade soldiers from close range, resulting in the killing of five and the wounding of five others, including three seriously injured.

Among the five soldiers were a company commander, a team commander, and a staff commander from the Golani Brigade, as acknowledged by the Israeli army.

In turn, Israeli Channel 12 reported that a "serious incident" took place in southern Lebanon, resulting in nine additional soldiers suffering severe injuries.

In its detailed account, the Israeli army reported that Golani troops entered a building on Wednesday with air support. Once inside, they came under fire from several Hezbollah fighters, who launched a coordinated attack.

Moreover, in the Gaza Strip, a soldier from the 450th Battalion, Bislach Brigade, was severely injured on Wednesday during combat in southern Gaza. 

Hezbollah continues to carry out operations against the Israeli occupation forces attempting to infiltrate southern Lebanon, marking sixteen operations till this moment on Thursday, targeting gatherings of Israeli soldiers along the border. 

Hezbollah's Binyamina op. 'shook Israel' to the core: Israeli media

The Israeli Walla website reported earlier today that Hezbollah's precise drone attack in the Golani Brigade's dining room in the Binyamina area, which led to the killing of four soldiers and the injuring of over 60 more, has shaken "Israel" and shocked the Israeli military's general leadership.

The "disaster" at the Golani Brigade base South of Haifa reaffirms the incompetence of the Israeli security apparatus in facing drones, the website suggested.

"While the world learns important lessons from the war in Ukraine, the Israeli army is still trying to find solutions," Walla further indicated. 

Similarly, the Israeli Maariv newspaper had previously described the operation as an extremely difficult, disturbing, disastrous, and problematic incident for the occupation forces, stressing that "Israel does not currently have a dedicated interception system to deal with drones launched into Israel from Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Yemen."

The operation, coined "The Drone Disaster", has left behind feelings of extreme hurt, incapacity, and despair, the newspaper also said.
