Hi Hawkmoon; Re the high casualties Israeli officers are taking in Lebanon.

The ranks of 12 of the 15 Israeli KIA from Wednesday:

Major Nathan Yahav, 36, from Kiryat Ono
Captain Leon Schmuker, 30, from Beit Nehemiah
Captain Gilead Shtokelman, 26, from Tamrat

Sergeant Major Igor Kovalik, 26, from Natsrat Illit
Sergeant Major David Samidov, 25, from Jerusalem
Sergeant Major Nir Cohen, 22, from Maccabim-Reut
Sergeant Major Reuven Novik, 36, from Kanaf
Sergeant Major Adi Salem, 22, from Beit Hashmonai
Staff Sergeant Nir Cohen, 22, from Maccabim-Reut
Staff sergeant Benny Sela, 24, from Koranit
1st Sergeant Noam Goldman, 27, from Tel Aviv
Gilead Zussman, 26, the third soldier from Eli to be killed in this war

And another captain, Gilad Balahsan, 28, of Karmiel, was killed Tuesday. Sure looks to me like the Israelis are taking some nasty ambushes. For a small military like Israel's 15 in one day is painful, but losing officers at this rate must be rough.
