Israeli officer killed in Hezbollah attack
Jerusalem: Itay Galea, 38, deputy company commander in the Israel army was fatally struck by a rocket in the Golan Heights during a massive attack by Hezbollah.
This retaliation came after Israel's targeted killing of Hezbollah leader Mohammad Naameh Nasser in Lebanon.
Hezbollah launched approximately 200 rockets, missiles, and drones into northern Israel, resulting in fears of an all-out war. Galea, a reservist officer, had previously served in the Gaza Strip and was deployed to northern Israel in anticipation of a potential conflict with Hezbollah.
This incident marks the 18th Israeli fatality since the border clashes between Hezbollah and Israel began in October 2023. Tensions have been escalating along the Lebanon-Israel border, with both sides exchanging rocket fire and military actions.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
