A Hezbollah rocket struck an Israeli navy vessel killing an IDF soldier and leaving two others injured.
21-year-old David Moshe Ben Shitrit was the Navy’s 914th Patrol Squadron from the West Bank settlement of Geva Binyamin.
According to an initial probe carried out by the Israeli Air Force with the Haifa Naval Base, the sailors on a Dvora-class patrol boat off the coast of northern Israel were hit by shrapnel from an Iron Dome air defence system interceptor missile, as at least two Hezbollah drones flew over the area.
