Summary
Several Hezbollah fighters were killed overnight in southern Lebanon after Israeli troops spotted them inside an Israeli-held “security zone,” the military said.
Israel said the strike was meant to remove an immediate threat to its forces and prevent attacks on Israeli civilians, underscoring continued operations despite the ceasefire.
One Israeli soldier was moderately injured in the area and evacuated to hospital, according to an earlier military statement.
Hezbollah did not comment on the incident and has not claimed any attacks since June 20, leaving the latest clash as a fresh test of the fragile truce.
