The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) confirmed the killing of four of its troops, including one officer and three soldiers, during confrontations in southern Lebanon.

The occupation forces reported that the four dead from Battalion 8207 were killed during confrontations in southern Lebanon on Saturday, with 14 others sustaining serious injuries in the same confrontations.

The soldiers include Rabbi Avraham Yosef Goldberg, platoon commander Amit Chayut, deputy company commander Eliav Amram Abitbol, and sergeant Gilad Elmaliach.

Israeli media acknowledged that the situation in the north is challenging and comes at a significant cost, with approximately 13 soldiers and officers killed during the Sukkot holiday alone, most of them in confrontation in Lebanon.

The IOF admitted the killing of the officer and three soldiers after the Israeli Ministry of Security admitted that 890 soldiers, officers, police, and security personnel have been killed since October 7, 2023.
