Netanyahu's 'victory' claims turned to dust: Israeli soldiers die in war with Iran's strongest proxy

Israel faced multiple setbacks on April 13 during its campaign against Hezbollah, including the death of IDF reservist Sgt. Maj. (res.) Ayal Uriel Bianco, 30, in southern Lebanon and fresh injuries to other troops in separate incidents. Reports said three reservists were wounded in the same event that killed Bianco, while two more soldiers were moderately wounded and six lightly wounded after an explosive drone fell in the area where they were operating. The pressure also extended inside Israel, where a Hezbollah rocket barrage on Nahariya wounded a woman after one rocket struck a residence despite multiple interceptions. The Jerusalem Post reported that around seven rockets were launched, six were intercepted, and the woman, approximately 60 years old, was lightly wounded, while another person was treated for anxiety-related symptoms.
