Lebanese resistance forces continue successfully repelling Zionist invasion attempts along their country’s southern border. Snip:

At least seven Israeli forces have reportedly been killed during clashes with Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement on the country’s southern border with the occupied Palestinian territories.

Israeli media outlets said the fatalities were caused during the clashes that took place near the Lebanese villages of Aita al-Shaab and Ramia on the border on Wednesday.

Scores of other troops were wounded, some 17 of them seriously, during the confrontation that followed an ambush by Hezbollah, the outlets noted amid reported tight censorship being imposed around the incident by the Israeli military.

Earlier, reports indicated that at least 49 wounded troops had been evacuated to hospitals in the occupied territories following the incident.

      Mitznefet (Israeli military)

      The mitznefet (Hebrew: מִצְנֶפֶת) is a helmet covering used by the Israel Defense Forces since 1994. It is considerably larger than the helmet worn by infantry soldiers. The main purpose of the covering is to break up what would otherwise be the distinctive outline of a helmeted human head, while also preventing light from reflecting off of the wearer’s helmet for a tactical advantage, making it easier to camouflage when necessary.

      In the Hebrew language, the covering shares the same name as the priestly turban, which was worn by the High Priest of Israel in the Temple of Jerusalem during the Second Temple period.
