one week of full panic.
evacuated settlements.
closed airports.
...
------
9 destroyed vehicles.
17 killed elite soldiers form Golani brigade alongside their commander, many more injured soldiers.
Zionists can call it whatever they like, down playing it means Israel doesn't dare to respond.

the reuters report says 2 killed, its kinda hard to take any sources seriously when the headline reads "17zionists killed"

what are the true figures ?
 
So Israel kills 10 top Hizb and Iranian Commanders and Generals. While Hezb and Iran kills 2 low level Israeli Border patrols and wounds 7 more. :coffee: . The tire head turbanators must be in great ecstasy oozing foam out of their mouths of this great achievement.

Don't worry your turn will come soon, Iran is closer than you think. Soon enough once Iraq is done with IS, the peshterga will be thrown out of Kirkuk by the Iraqis, Iran will be there to spank you from the east just in case you Misbehave.
 
The military vehicles travelled on a civilian road in the village of Ghajar two kilometers away from the border when they came under a heavy Hezbollah ambush, consisting of five to six Kornet missiles, a senior army source said. He estimated that the attackers were four to five kilometers away from the vehicles.

A military D-max vehicle was the first vehicle hit in the attack, prompting all of those inside an IDF jeep behind it to quickly evacuate the vehicle before it too was hit with missiles. The subsequent injuries came from military vehicles nearby.

The source stressed that the vehicles travelled on a road used jointly by military and civilian traffic, and that civilian cars were also in the vicinity of the attack. One house in the village was also struck by a missile in the attack.

"It's too soon to draw conclusions about whether the vehicles should have been armored," the source said. "We will investigate the incident."

Two IDF soldiers were killed and seven were injured in the attack.

9 destroyed vehicles using guided missiles, even if we count one driver for each vehicle, number of kills are way more than what Israelis are saying. Zionist's specialty is manipulating the numbers.
 
Armored vehicles protect against gunfire, not missiles. A tank or MRAP may be able to protect the crew from missiles, but a jeep or hummer won't be much protection.

I am assuming that the killed were from the first vehicle, the other evacuated but we're injured from shrapnel.

5 ATGM and IEDs according to Israeli sources..

Hizballah attack targeted IDF commanders on an inspection tour of northern border security

Iran’s Lebanese proxy, Hizballah, used five anti-tank rockets and roadside bombs for an ambush outside Kafr Ghajar, which killed at least two IDF servicemen, an officer and a soldier, who were traveling in unarmored vehicles Wednesday, Jan. 28. This is reported by debkafile’s military sources. Another seven soldiers were injured. The IDF notice did not specify the officer’s rank or the group’s mission in the area.


Hizballah and Iran, who had vowed to avenge the air strike which killed an Iranian Revolutionary Guards general and six Hizballah officers on Jan. 18, pulled off three feats in this attack:


One: their agents were able to cross the border unnoticed to plant roadside bombs.

Two: they moved anti-tank rocket launchers right up to the order fence - undetected.

And, three, astonishingly, they did not find it hard to strike and blow up the two command vehicles and inflict Israeli losses.


This three strokes were achieved - notwithstanding IDF assurances that all the necessary security measures had been put in place and reinforced in readiness for the promised Iranian-Hizballah revenge attack.


Our military sources note that something must have been seriously amiss with the convoy’s security for Hizballah to achieve its stunning success.


In the first place: How did it happen that an IDF command convoy risked exposure to harm by traveling within sight of the enemy without proper protection?


Inhabitants of the northern border towns and villages locations are entitled to pin down the IDF with a hard question: Why are they held so strictly to military instructions for keeping civilians safe, when the army is so careless with the security of its own “senior officers” and men?


Israel’s armed forces will now be obliged to pull out the stops to recover respect for its deterrent capacity. There is little choice but to inflict a serious military blow against Hizballah and the Iranian intelligence officers based in Syria, whence their Lebanese proxy procured the intelligence for attacking the IDF command convoy.


Israel must also recover the initiative in the long conflict with Iran and Hizballah and reinforce the message conveyed in its Jan. 18 air strike on their mission near Quneitra, that it will not sit still for the Golan to be transformed into a forward position for attacking Israel from Syria.

if indeed they went specifically a commander, this level of intel gathering should be quiet worrying for the IDF

according to our sources, (the first) 2 vehicles were let to pass the ambush, to separate them from the convoy and to capture their soldires.
