Two IDF soldiers killed, nine hurt in Hezbollah attacks on Galilee

Two soldiers were killed and several others were wounded in Hezbollah missile and drone attacks on northern Israel on September 19, the military said, reported from The Times of Israel.

The Israel Defense Forces named the slain soldiers as Maj. (res.) Nael Fwarsy, 43, a logistics company commander in the 300th "Baram” Regional Brigade’s 299th Battalion, from Maghar, and Sgt. Tomer Keren, 20, of the Golani Brigade’s 51st Battalion, from Haifa.

Fwarsy was killed and another soldier was lightly wounded after an explosive-laden drone launched by Hezbollah struck an area outside Ya’ara in the Western Galilee.

Keren was killed and eight other soldiers were wounded, including one seriously, after two anti-tank missiles launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon struck a position in the Ramim Ridge area on the border in the Galilee Panhandle.

Rambam Medical Center in Haifa said it had admitted two people in moderate-to-serious condition while Ziv Hospital in Safed said it admitted six who were lightly hurt.
