Rambam Medical Center in Haifa provided an update Sunday on the four reserve soldiers seriously wounded in the booby-trap explosion in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, August 5. The incident, which killed Maj. Harel Birenstock and Chief Master Sgt. Tamir Vaknin of the 55th Paratroopers Reserve Brigade (Battalion 2855), occurred when an explosive device detonated as troops entered a building. Israeli authorities are still investigating whether the explosives were placed before or after the June ceasefire with Hezbollah came into effect. The hospital update on Sunday reported that one of the wounded has stabilized, regained consciousness, and is breathing independently, and is expected to be transferred to Sheba Medical Center. The other three remain in intensive care, sedated and ventilated. The incident is the deadliest single event for Israeli forces since the ceasefire took effect.
