Soldiers from the 679th Armored Brigade told Kan News Wednesday that the terrorist in the Bint Jbeil building was killed by troops of Battalion 8112, contradicting the IDF spokesperson's earlier account. According to the soldiers, the terrorist was cornered after a search and fire exchange, and was only shot after he reached for his weapon. The soldiers also said an Oketz unit dog was killed by the terrorist's fire, and the female soldier returned fire and was unharmed.
Soldiers from the 679th Armored Brigade, operating under Division 91 in southern Lebanon, have contradicted the IDF spokesperson's account of the elimination of a terrorist in Bint Jbeil. In a statement to Kan News, the soldiers said the terrorist was killed by troops of Battalion 8112 following a search and a fire exchange, not by the female Oketz soldier as previously reported. The soldiers described a standoff: the terrorist was cornered inside a building, negotiations were attempted, and he was shot only after reaching for his weapon. The Oketz unit's dog, named Mars, was killed by the terrorist's fire. The female soldier returned fire and was not injured. The contradiction raises questions about the accuracy of the official military narrative.
