First direct attack on Lebanese military post since Israel-Hezbollah war began
An Israeli strike hit a Lebanese army checkpoint in southern Lebanon, wounding at least five soldiers, a Lebanese military official said. This marks the first direct attack on a Lebanese military post since the Israel-Hezbollah war began on March 2.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the wounded soldiers are receiving medical treatment, with no further details on the severity of their injuries.
Since the start of the conflict, the Lebanese military has already mourned the loss of eight soldiers killed by Israeli fire while off duty in southern and eastern Lebanon, highlighting the ongoing tensions along the border.
The attack underscores the escalating hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, raising concerns over further strikes on military and civilian targets in the region.
