[Ynet News] Efrat Weiss - Three IDF soldiers were killed and another was severely wounded Thursday when Hizballah terrorists fired an anti-tank missile at their Merkava tank in southwest Lebanon. Hizballah has equipped itself with missile systems which are among the most advanced in the world, including "Fagot" and "Cornet" missiles with tandem warheads that can neutralize tank shields and destroy even the IDF's advanced tanks. A fourth soldier was killed Thursday in Lebanon by an anti-tank missile in a separate incident. Two additional soldiers were killed on Friday by Hizballah anti-tank rocket fire.
