The military said Daqduq directed attacks on Israeli civilians, soldiers and American servicemembers and held several senior Hezbollah roles.

  • On Wednesday, Master Sgt. Alexander Filin, 29, of Haifa, was killed by an explosive device while operating with the 36th Division near the Litani River at approximately 5 p.m.
  • Seven other soldiers were wounded in the blast, including the 36th Division's deputy commander and a 556th Transport Brigade battalion commander who sustained moderate injuries.
  • Following the explosion, the IDF targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in the area with artillery fire, as an initial military inquiry attributed the blast to an enemy explosive device.
  • Earlier on Wednesday, Hezbollah FPV drones wounded five soldiers from the Givati Brigade combat team near Tebnit, with one severely wounded and others moderately or lightly hurt.
  • The military faces uncertainty regarding its northern border strategy, with options ranging from capturing additional targets like Nabatieh to gradual withdrawal back to the border line.
