IDF Soldier Fighting Hizballah Killed Thursday
[Jerusalem Post] Yaakov Katz - An IDF reserve soldier was killed Thursday in Leboneh in southern Lebanon when an anti-tank missile hit his vehicle. Nine others were seriously wounded during heavy clashes between the IDF and Hizballah terrorists. Defense Minister Amir Peretz froze a planned thrust deep into Lebanon up to the Litani River on Thursday, in order to exhaust the diplomatic front before launching the operation. A high-ranking IDF officer said the army had killed more than 100 Hizballah gunmen on Thursday. Still, Hizballah was able to fire more than 170 Katyusha rockets into northern Israel.
