New details indicate that the injuries sustained by the son of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich during military activity in Lebanon over the weekend were more severe than initially reported.

Smotrich’s son, whose father serves as both finance minister and a member of Israel’s security cabinet, was wounded while taking part in an IDF operation in Lebanon.

Initial reports from the minister’s office described the injury as minor. However, according to a report by Channel 14 News, the situation was more serious than previously disclosed. A missile fired toward the IDF unit reportedly exploded near him, and shrapnel penetrated his abdomen and back, causing internal injuries.

Smotrich’s son was evacuated to a hospital, where his condition was initially classified as serious.

During Shabbos, his condition stabilized, and he is now expected to undergo a period of recovery and rehabilitation.
