Israeli strike kills Lebanese soldiers; IDF probes if it hit army vehicle

An Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon killed several Lebanese soldiers, including two officers. The Israeli military said it struck a vehicle it suspected was being used by Hezbollah, but is now investigating whether it actually hit Lebanese Army personnel. Lebanon condemned the attack.

Separately, two Israeli soldiers were killed in other incidents in southern Lebanon. The Israeli offensive has given Hezbollah a renewed sense of purpose, according to reports. Meanwhile, the IDF has paused the destruction of villages in the area as part of a truce, a UNIFIL source said.
