7 Okt 2000 Jahr - 2000 Hezbollah cross-border raid

Beschreibung:

The 2000 Hezbollah cross-border raid occurred at the boundary between Lebanon and the Golan Heights on October 7th. Hezbollah militants captured three Israeli soldiers while they were patrolling the security fence, and subsequently took them into Lebanon. While the time and circumstances of the three soldiers' deaths remain unknown, their bodies were returned to Israel in a prisoner exchange on January 29th, 2004.

The abduction was the first incident between Israel and Lebanon after the Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. It was followed by several other attempts by Hezbollah to abduct Israeli soldiers at the border; eventually, on July 12th, 2006, the 2006 Hezbollah cross-border raid saw eight Israeli soldiers killed and another two abducted and later killed in Lebanon, which triggered the 2006 Lebanon War.
