By The Media Line Staff
Capt. Eliav Haim Tzaflamos, 21, from Haifa, was killed Thursday when a Humvee overturned during an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operation in the Litani River area of southern Lebanon, while three other soldiers were lightly wounded in the accident.
Tzaflamos served as a combat officer in the 603rd Battalion of the 7th Brigade. The three soldiers injured in the rollover were taken to a hospital for treatment, and their families were notified.
Two other IDF soldiers were lightly wounded in a separate operational accident in southern Lebanon earlier Thursday. A preliminary investigation indicated that improper handling of ammunition caused their injuries. Both soldiers were evacuated to a hospital, and their families were informed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted on X: “We are all mourning the fall of Captain Eliav Chaim Tzfalmus and praying for the recovery of three additional soldiers who were wounded in the severe accident in southern Lebanon.”
