Late on 1 October, commando- and combat engineering elements of the 36th and 98th Divisions, IDF, have entered Lebanon on multiple points along the border between that country and Israel. Between others, they are known to have attempted infiltrating Addaisseh, Marun al-Ras, Kfarklia, and Yaroun.
In each case, the ‘demolished, defeated, de-capitated etc.’ Hezbollah waited patiently for the IDF troops to enter the places in question, before – between 02.00hrs and 05.20hrs, yesterday in the morning – springing multiple ambushes. In each case, the Israelis were left to enter one or another building, this was then blown up and subjected to heavy fire from RPGs and machine guns.
When the Israelis then sent yet more troops, supported by tanks, to extract casualties, these were hit as well (including, according to Hezbollah, ‘3 Merkava tanks’). When Israeli helicopters attempted to intervene, one was hit and all were forced to withdraw (to make sure: nope, Hezbollah did not claim any Israeli helicopters shot down).
Result: about 50 IDF casualties, including at least 14 killed (the IDF first confirmed 7, then 14 KIA).
