Israeli soldiers killed and Hezbollah fires hundreds of attacks in Lebanon border fighting

Hezbollah militants and Israeli forces clashed in southern Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of at least two Israeli soldiers. The Israeli military confirmed the soldiers were killed in combat, with one report specifying an anti-tank missile strike.

Hezbollah said it launched a record number of attacks, firing more than 100 rockets at Israel in one day and over 600 attacks in a 24-hour period. The group also claimed it targeted an Israeli Merkava tank and the Israeli war ministry with precision missiles. The intense fighting has led to Israeli military officials expressing concern about the strain on their forces.
