IDF announces four soldiers killed in southern Lebanon

Four soldiers were killed in combat in southern Lebanon, the IDF announced on Monday, as Israel kept lines tight on the Syrian border to be prepared for anything that might affect the stability there.

The military named the fallen as Maj. (res.) Evgeny Zinershain, 43, from Zichron Ya’acov; Capt. (res.) Sagi Ya’akov Rubinshtein, 31, from Lavi; St.-Sgt.-Maj. (res.) Binyamin Destaw Negose, 28, from Bet Shemesh; and Sgt.-Maj. (res.) Erez Ben Efraim, 25, from Ramat Gan.

Initial investigations indicate that the four went into an underground spot in the area where they were operating, to clear it out of any weapons. They were struck by an IDF trap that had been placed there. According to N12, the army has opened an investigation into the incident and will inquire as to why they entered in the first place and whether they knew about the trap.
