Jerusalem: A deputy commander was killed in a fight with militants on Tuesday, according to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). The incident took place close to the country's northern border with Lebanon.

In a post on X, the IDF said: "The Deputy Commander of the 300th Brigade, LTC Alim Abdallah—from the Druze village of Yanuh-Jat—was killed yesterday (Monday) when confronting terrorists who infiltrated Israel from Lebanon. The IDF sends its heartfelt condolences to his family and will continue to support them."

Abdallah, 40, and other troops fought several militants who crossed from Lebanon into northern Israel, killing at least two of them, according to the military, IANS reported.

Israeli rescue services reported that at least six Israelis were injured by shrapnel, reports Xinhua news agency.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad, an Islamist Palestinian group, claimed responsibility for the infiltration.

In response to the infiltration, Israel Air Force helicopters launched airstrikes on Hezbollah posts in Lebanon, the IDF said.
