The IDF says Col. Meir Biderman, commander of the 401st Armored Brigade, was seriously wounded after an explosive drone struck a building where he was staying in southern Lebanon.
A reserve combat officer was moderately wounded in the same attack, while another soldier sustained light injuries. Earlier in the day, several explosive drone incidents and clashes with Hezbollah terrorists were also reported in the area.
Despite the escalation, there has been no change to Israel’s current fire restrictions in the north.
