(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel and Yoav Stern - Captain Sharon Elmakayis was killed Sunday when an armored jeep hit an explosive device along the Lebanon border in the Har Dov region. Several other soldiers were lightly injured. Following the incident, IDF soldiers engaged in heavy exchanges of fire with Hizballah along the northern border. A French member of the UN observer force in southern Lebanon was killed in the ensuing firefight and a Swedish member of the force was wounded.
