Oct 8

Kan reports the IDF's announcement that Captain Eliav Haim Tzalmos, twenty-one, from Haifa, died when a Humvee overturned during operational activity near the Litani in southern Lebanon. He served in the 603rd Engineering Battalion of the 7th Brigade. Three other soldiers were wounded, with injuries described as light to moderate, and their families were informed. A brief reference to a different earlier Gaza incident remains contextual rather than a second occurrence in this account.
