Israeli military authorities announced Monday the death of Staff Sgt. (Res.) Alexander Globenyov, age 47, from Petah Tikva, who died following a drone strike near the Lebanese border. The explosive devices, launched from Lebanese territory, detonated within Israeli boundaries in what military officials characterized as another ceasefire violation by Hezbollah.
The 47-year-old reservist worked as a primary vehicle operator within the 6924 Transporters Battalion. Military sources report that Globenyov lost his life when one of multiple unmanned aircraft exploded in the border region during the assault.
In a heartbreaking interview with Ynet studio, his mother Flora Globnyov remembered her son as “a very good person.”
“He was my only son, I have no one now. He had golden hands. He was an athlete. We came to Israel in 1996,” she told reporters. “They told us it happened at the border; he was at the base. We spoke two days ago for the last time. I was afraid. I was in touch with him, and he said everything was fine.”
The grieving mother revealed that Globenyov is survived by two children – an infant daughter just 8 months old and a teenage son of 15.
“What will I do now? My life is over,” she expressed in her grief.
