Details and video on what's now being called a "heroic" raid by Israeli commando's.
Senior Navy official describes details of 13th Flotilla’s overnight raid on Tyre, which targeted the Hizbullah terror cell responsible for Friday rocket attack on Hadera. IDF’s message of deterrence: Long-range fire into Israel will incur immediate consequences.
It was reported that the Lebanese army fired antiaircraft missiles at the Israel helicopters, which responded fire, hitting a Lebanese army tank and causing casualties. Lebanese sources reported a soldier and civilian were killed.
Ten soldiers were wounded during the operation, with two of them sustaining serious wounds although they were reported to be in stable condition. “The wounded received initial medical attention on the scene, then the other soldiers carried them on out stretchers, and through perimeter fighting managed to open a route out,” the official related. “One of the seriously wounded soldiers suffered a bullet wound to the midsection when he was in the house, and the second was wounded in the upper body outside the house.”
Thank you.
