Israeli army says 2 soldiers were killed in attack in the north of the country

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Friday (4) that two of its soldiers from the Golani Brigade were killed in “northern Israel” in a drone strike launched from the east.

The IDF did not specify who it suspects of carrying out the attack, but said it happened on Wednesday, the same day that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group for several Iranian-backed groups, said it carried out attacks. of drones on three targets in what it called “separate operations north of our occupied territories”.

Hamas praised the group for its support for the Palestinian people, saying the Islamic Resistance drone operation in Iraq targeted Israeli forces in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights in the northeast, “resulting in deaths and injuries.”

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq also said it conducted three other drone strikes this Friday (4) in the Golan Heights and Tiberias.

The Golan Heights is a strategic plateau that Israel seized from Syria during the Six-Day War in 1967, before formally annexing it in 1981. It remains under Israeli government control and is considered occupied territory by much of the international community.

Understand the escalation in conflicts in the Middle East

Iran’s missile attack on Israel on the 1st marked a new stage in the regional conflict in the Middle East. On one side of the war is Israel, with support from the United States. On the other, the Axis of Resistance, which receives financial and military support from Iran and which has a series of paramilitary groups.

There are seven conflict fronts currently open: the Islamic Republic of Iran; Hamas, in the Gaza Strip; Hezbollah, in Lebanon; the Syrian government and the militias operating in the country; the Houthis, in Yemen; Shia groups in Iraq; and different militant organizations in the West Bank.

Israel has soldiers on three of these fronts: Lebanon, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. In the other four, it carries out aerial bombings.

The Israeli Army began a “limited ground operation” in Lebanon on September 30, days after Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a bombing of the group’s headquarters in the Beirut suburb.

The Israel Defense Forces say they have killed virtually the entire Hezbollah chain of command in similar bombings carried out in recent weeks. On September 23, Lebanon had its deadliest day since the 2006 war, with more than 500 fatalities.

At least two Brazilian teenagers died in the attacks. Itamaraty condemned the situation and called for an end to the conflict. With the increase in hostilities, the Brazilian government announced an operation to repatriate Brazilians in Lebanon.

In the West Bank, the Israeli military is trying to dismantle groups opposed to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory.

In the Gaza Strip, Israel seeks to eradicate Hamas, responsible for the October 7 attack that left more than 1,200 people dead, according to information from the Israeli government. The Israeli operation killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, according to the enclave’s Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar remains hidden in tunnels in the Gaza Strip, where dozens of Israelis kidnapped by Hamas are also believed to be in captivity.
