The IDF spokesman allowed the publication of the name of First Sergeant Major Valery Chapunov, 33 years old from Netanya, who was killed yesterday by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hit in Western Galilee. Chaponov served as the vehicle officer of the 9308th Battalion, Alon Brigade (228). He will rest in the military cemetery in Netanya at 11:00.
Three UAVs penetrated Israeli territory yesterday and exploded at the Kabari intersection near Nahariya. The Air Force failed to intercept the UAVs, and one hit a populated area. The explosion injured the late Valeri, who was in critical condition and the MDA team evacuated him to the hospital. At the same time, the IDF fired artillery fire at targets in southern Lebanon. The director of the Emergency Medicine Department, Dr. Khaled Atallah: He was brought with shrapnel injuries to his upper body, while advanced resuscitation operations began in the field. Upon his arrival, he was put in the shock room, where we continued the resuscitation operations, and later we unfortunately had to determine his death."
Yesterday, after a few minutes of continuous alarms throughout the Upper and Western Galilee, the IDF spokesman informed that several drones crossed Lebanese territory and fell in the area - where residents reported: "full of explosions". In Kibbutz Kabri near Nahariya, documents were published from the direct hits on the spot, where smashed vehicles and a house with a hole in the roof were seen. Also, the remains of Hezbollah's drones were located near the site of the hit in the kibbutz. Later, the terrorist organization took responsibility for the "drone attack" in Kabri, in response to the "Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon".
The IDF added that the air defense fighters successfully intercepted a number of aerial targets that made their way to Israel from Lebanese territory, after alarms were triggered in the Upper Galilee. Yesterday Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi held a situation assessment and commanders' dialogue in the Galilee formation on the Lebanese border, together with the commander of the Northern Command, Major General Uri Gordin, and the commander of the Galilee formation, Lt. Col. Shay Klaper.
Later, the Chief of Staff visited Metula and met with the head of the council David Azoulai and other representatives, where they discussed the situation and the importance of the army's relationship with the authorities and the residents. We make it difficult, both to dismantle more and to increase the chances of arriving in good conditions, to return the abducted.
"This is a very, very significant matter. The eliminations are very important, they are very difficult for them," Halevi added. "I think that the command, the divisions, the whole system with the Air Force and the IDF does a very good job in locating the targets, in attacking them. Maybe we're doing something good now, but that's the condition of having a strong defense here."
