The horiffic security failure in Lebanon. Golani Brigade Chief of Staff Yoav Yeroom – the senior officer who made the decision to send 71-year-old Ze'ev Hanokh Ehrlich to southern Lebanon – reveals the sequence of events and the reason for his entry into Lebanon.

In an interview with Channel 12 News, Yaron said that a few days before the incident, a Golani fighter was killed by a group of terrorists. Since they didn't understand where they were hiding, Yarum decided to call that archaeologist and asked him for help in locating them. The location: Archaeological fortress – the tomb of Simon.

At this stage, the archaeologist agreed to his request, but Yaron did not verify that he was equipped and had permission to enter Lebanon. From the officer's perspective, Ze'ev Ehrlich arrived in Lebanon fully equipped, and the two entered the fortress. As evidence, he (Yarom) told Ehrlich that he was taking them towards the pit – where they encountered a squad and Ehrlich, may he rest in peace, was killed on the spot.
