52nd Battalion commander killed in S. Lebanon

The 52nd Battalion of the Israeli military, whose commander was killed today in southern Lebanon, has been identified as the unit responsible for the killing of 6-year-old Palestinian child Hind Rajab in Gaza earlier this year. The commander's death occurred during ongoing hostilities in southern Lebanon despite a fragile ceasefire. The battalion's involvement in the child's death has drawn renewed scrutiny to Israeli military operations in Gaza.
