The chief-of-staff of the 1st Infantry Golani Brigade, of the Israeli occupation forces, was wounded after being confronted by Hezbollah Resistance fighters in a village in South Lebanon, on Wednesday morning. 

The Israeli military command said that Colonel Yoav Yarom was injured in a close-quarters gun battle in a Lebanese village. Yarom had entered an archeological site in a Lebanese village alongside a former officer and geological researcher in southern Lebanon. 

According to Israeli media outlets, the researcher, Zeev Erlich, 71, had requested to visit an unnamed archaeological site in an area in southern Lebanon. However, Yarom, Erlich, and a number of Golani troops were ambushed by two Hezbollah fighters inside the archeological site. 

Erlich's entry into southern Lebanon had not been authorized by the Israeli military command and the wounded senior officer is currently under investigation for accompanying Erlich into the site. 

Hezbollah fighters who ambushed the Israeli convoy were able to kill Erlich, who was in full military attire, alongside a soldier from the Golani Brigade whose identity has not been revealed. The village was said to be in the Western Axis of confrontation, however, the Israeli military command has not revealed the exact location of the ambush.
