IDF reservist and rabbi Boaz Sloak describes from his hospital bed how he armed a weapon, aimed it, and was severely wounded by an explosive drone in southern Lebanon — after clearing a path for his squad members to escape. The account was given in an interview with Tal Meir (N12).
Reservist Boaz Sloak, an IDF reservist and rabbi currently hospitalized with severe wounds, recounted the moments of an explosive drone strike in southern Lebanon in an interview with journalist Tal Meir (N12). He said he armed his weapon and aimed it when, by divine assistance, the drone shifted aside and detonated — wounding him critically but allowing his squad members to escape the blast. The account adds a personal dimension to a pattern of drone attacks that have exacted a heavy toll on IDF personnel along the northern border in recent weeks. The Zioneer has reported on multiple incidents of officers and soldiers wounded by explosive drones in southern Lebanon since early June, including several moderate-to-severe casualties among reserve forces. As of this bulletin, the IDF has not issued a separate statement on the incident Sloak described; the interview constitutes the primary account.
