Lebanon: The IDF announced this morning that two reservist soldiers were killed, and four were seriously wounded after being hit by an explosive device in the southern Lebanon town of Majdal Zoun yesterday. The slain troops were named as: Maj. (res.) Harel Birenstock, 34, a company commander from Nokdim; and Sgt. Maj. (res.) Tamir Vaknin, 33, from Eilat. Both served in the 55th Paratroopers Brigade’s 2855th Battalion. The deadly attack prompted the military to resume strikes on Wednesday against Hezbollah, as talks on expanding the truce between the two countries were said to hit a bump in the road in Rome.
