Three Israeli soldiers: Adi Avitan, Benyamin Avraham, and Omar Sawaid were killed, and their bodies were captured.

On 21 November 2005, Hezbollah Special Forces launched a two-pronged attack against Israeli outposts in the Israeli-occupied Shebaa farms area.

The commanding Israeli officer Udi Adam said in his after-action report, that "it was the first time that Hezbollah used its entire tactical arsenal".

[6] Meanwhile, another 20 Hezbollah fighters using motorcycles and ATVs attacked a military outpost in the border village of Ghajar, with the aim of capturing IDF prisoners.

The attack was led by Hizbullah commander Muhammed Qanso (Sajid ad-Duweir), who later died in the Battle of Bint Jbeil.

[8] Israel agreed to hand over the bodies of the three slain Hezbollah soldiers, who had remained on Israeli-occupied territory, to the Red Cross.

[2] Hezbullah and Iranian experts later carefully examined the videos of these attacks, searching for possible weaknesses in the Merkava armor.
