Golani forces encountered terrorists in face-to-face combat and eliminated them.

Heavy fire was opened on the force by terrorists who had been hiding inside a nearby building.

Additional reinforcements could be deployed in the coming days depending on further operational assessments.

Golani soldiers celebrate the release of Edan Alexander, the American-Israeli soldier who served in the Golani Brigade before being abducted on October 7, 2023.

The injured soldier saw that a Megillah scroll in Sri Lanka was dedicated to a commander who had fallen in the same battle in which he was wounded.
