On Sunday, the team commander of the 75th Battalion in the 7th Brigade, Lieutenant Amitai Granot, and soldier Daniel Rashed from the 13th Battalion of the Golani Brigade were killed in an attack by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon on their posts and location.

After the publication was approved by the Israeli Occupation Forces, it was revealed that Granot is the son of Tamir Granot, a prominent Rabbi in 'Tel Aviv'.

Granot was killed during an operation conducted by the Lebanese Resistance on the occupied territories where it targeted a tank using an anti-tank missile resulting in a direct hit.

Consequently, the announced number of deaths by the Israeli occupation forces since the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood rose to 291 Israeli officers and soldiers, in addition to hundreds of prisoners and wounded Israeli soldiers, most of them from the Gaza Division, which the Resistance fighters attacked in the first hours of the Operation.
