First Sergeant Raphael Coudres has been killed in the Hezbollah Drone Attack in Khorefish

First Sergeant (res.) Raphael Coudres, 39 years old from the Hadassah Fortress, died today (Thursday) of his wounds, after being fatally injured yesterday in the incident of the fall of the UAV in Khorefish in the north of the country. Coudres served as the coordinator of tradition and spirit in the 5030 battalion, in the Alon Brigade (228). In addition , in the same incident a reservist was seriously injured.
11 people were injured yesterday during the drone attack on the Druze settlement. The unmanned aircraft exploded a few minutes apart, as part of the terrorist organization Hezbollah's attempt to harm the rescue forces that arrived at the scene. Most of the injured in the incident were slightly injured, but as mentioned in the serious incident The tragic result of the fall of the late Cowders, and the serious injury of the reservist was also recorded.
Shortly after 6:00 p.m., two explosive drones launched from Lebanon crossed into Israeli territory. One of them fell on the soccer field near Khorfish, located about five kilometers from the northern border. No alarm was raised before, and the IDF is investigating why. A short time later, the additional UAV hit the scene and hit an MDA paramedic who was giving aid to the victims. His condition is mild.
The IDF announced that it attacked a series of Hezbollah targets in Lebanese territory throughout Thursday, including terrorist infrastructures in the Naqura and Al-Matamura areas, military buildings in the Aita al-Sha'ab area, and an observation post in the Al-Khyam area. The army also said that the forces fired Artillery to remove the threat in the areas of Halta, Hamool, Khula, Al-Jibin, and Marviin in southern Lebanon.
The protest of the heads of the authorities in the north, and the extensive media coverage in recent days, yesterday shook the political echelon from its slumber. Yesterday, a series of consultations was held at the political and security level regarding the situation on the Lebanese border. Chief of Staff Hertzi Halevi said yesterday during a tour of the Northern Command: "We are approaching the point where a decision will have to be made, the IDF is ready for an attack."
Although the blow in the south was immeasurably difficult, in Galilee there are more concerns regarding the chances of the residents returning to the border line in the future. Not only is there no military solution in sight, the passing of time makes many consider leaving the region for good, especially with the next school year starting in September. The local support system in the settlements is relatively weak, and the government treatment, which to date does not include the establishment of an effective rehabilitation administration, is severely lacking. Those who tour Kiryat Shmona these days will find an almost empty city, on constant alert for absorption. Hezbollah conducts a deadly and quite accurate fire policy, mainly using attacking drones.
The American administration estimates that the signing of a hostage deal and a cease-fire in the south will allow an immediate cease-fire in the north, during which swift negotiations will be initiated on a new political agreement that will include the removal of Radwan forces, Hezbollah's commando units, from the border.
 Naim Kassem, Hezbollah's deputy secretary general, told the Al-Gazeera channel yesterday that his organization is not interested in an all-out war, but will not be afraid to enter it if Israel behaves that way.
