Two IDF Soldiers Lightly Injured in Southern Lebanon, Prompting Retaliation Strikes on Hezbollah

The military said it targeted several terror infrastructure sites, including observation posts, after an engineering vehicle hit a Hezbollah explosive device.

  • Two Israel Defense Forces soldiers were lightly wounded Saturday when their engineering vehicle struck a Hezbollah explosive device in the security zone of Southern Lebanon; the injured troops were evacuated for medical treatment.
  • Operating under the June 26 ceasefire agreement between Jerusalem and Beirut, the IDF continues to patrol the security zone to remove threats to Israeli civilians and soldiers.
  • In response to the explosion, the IDF targeted Hezbollah infrastructure including observation posts used to plan attacks, while troops also destroyed 32 rockets found earlier this week aimed at Israel.
  • Lebanese President Joseph Aoun told the AFP on Tuesday that his government remains determined to disarm Hezbollah, stating, "We have no choice but negotiations, because the alternative is war, which would be very costly for us."
  • Recent operations follow the destruction of Hezbollah's main underground routes about 2.8 miles southeast of the Ali al-Taher Ridge, while last week Golani Brigade troops killed an operative in a separate clash in Southern Lebanon.
