Operation Northern Arrows - 02 October 2024
Hezbollah fighters set up an ambush 02 October 2024 and lured the occupation soldiers into a building on the outskirts of a village in the eastern sector of southern Lebanon, coinciding with heavy fog. At 4:00 a.m., a force from the Egoz unit entered the building, and the Radwan fighters engaged them from point-blank range. Then, dozens of Radwan fighters began to surround the building from all directions, firing gunfire, anti-tank shells, and mortar shells at the forces that arrived to evacuate the wounded soldiers. Some soldiers from Unit 669, which is responsible for evacuating soldiers via helicopters, were injured during the evacuation operations. This ambush alone resulted in the killing of 6 soldiers and the wounding of 30 others.
While attempting to infiltrate the town of Yarun from the Salis Heights near the village of Odaisse, a combined force of Egoz, Yahalom and the 631st Reconnaissance Battalion of the 1st Golani Infantry Brigade was blown up by an improvised explosive device, after which a firefight ensued with Hezbollah militants. During the evacuation, the troops were fired upon from mortars.
The Israel Defense Forces reported that on the morning of October 2, about 100 rockets were fired from Lebanon towards northern Israel. This was reported by The Times of Israel with reference to the IDF. Sirens were sounding in a number of towns near the Lebanese border. There have been no reports of casualties or injuries so far.
