A female Israeli Defense Forces soldier, 19, who helped prevent Hezbollah infiltrators from crossing into Israel has spoken out about her role in the event, which took place on Monday.
For security reasons, the soldier is being identified by her first initial, S.
On Monday evening, S, who serves as a border lookout, spotted a suspicious group of men in the Har Dov area close to the Israel-Lebanon Blue Line.
She immediately raised the alarm about the potential Hezbollah terror cell attempting to cross into Israel. IDF forces opened fire on the group, forcing them to retreat.

Army Spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Cornicus said in a statement that the “Infiltration was successfully thwarted. The terrorists retreated back to Lebanon. We have no information if any of the perpetrators were wounded or killed.”
According to Israel’s Channel 13 News, S posted on her Instagram account on Tuesday about the incident, writing, “Who would have believed that I would thwart an incident like that?”
“The sense of pride and satisfaction is simply crazy. Protecting you from a distance — even if you don’t know it.”
Speaking to Channel 13 News, S’s mother said she was proud of her daughter and at first couldn’t believe S had such a critical role in stopping the infiltration.
When S messaged her mother that she’d been the lookout responsible for spotting the terrorist, “I thought she was playing a joke on us,” her mother said. “I asked her if she was telling the truth and she said ‘yes, it was me.’”
Haim Zuri, the mayor of Kiryat Motzkin, where S lives, heaped praise on the young soldier during a phone call on Tuesday.
“You’ve become the darling of the city,” he told her.
Hezbollah denied that the incident was a foiled infiltration attempt, and has said that retaliation for an Israeli attack in Syria last week that killed a Hezbollah terrorist is still forthcoming.
A spokesperson for Hezbollah said Israel’s version of events was “an attempt to invent false and fantastical victories.”

一名19岁的以色列国防军女兵帮助阻止了真主党渗透者入侵以色列，她对此发表了讲话。
出于安全原因，该士兵的首字母缩写为S。
星期一晚上，担任边界监视员的S在靠近以色列-黎巴嫩蓝线的Har Dov地区发现了一组可疑人员。
她立即对真主党恐怖分子企图闯入以色列发出了警报。以色列国防军向该团体开火，迫使他们撤退。

陆军发言人Jonathan Cornicus中校在一份声明中说，“渗透成功地受到了挫败。恐怖分子撤退回黎巴嫩。我们没有任何肇事者受伤或死亡的信息。”
根据以色列的第13频道新闻，S在星期二发布了关于该事件的Instagram帐户，写道：“谁会相信我会阻止这样的事件？”
“自豪感和满足感简直太疯狂了。保护您远离远处，即使您不知道。”
S的母亲在第13频道新闻上说，她为女儿感到骄傲，起初不敢相信S在阻止渗透方面起着至关重要的作用。
当S告诉母亲说她一直是负责发现恐怖分子的监视者时，“我以为她在跟我们开玩笑，”母亲说。 “我问她是否在说实话，她说‘是的，是我。’”
S住所在的Kiryat Motzkin的市长Haim Zuri在周二的电话中对这位年轻士兵表示赞赏。
他告诉她：“您已经成为这座城市的宠儿。”
