Southern Lebanon: 2 IDF Soldiers Lightly Wounded by Explosive Device; IDF Strikes Terror Targets

The IDF Spokesperson said Saturday night that earlier in the day, an engineering vehicle belonging to IDF forces hit an explosive device planted by the Hezbollah terror organization in the security zone in southern Lebanon. As a result, two IDF soldiers were lightly wounded and evacuated for medical treatment. Their families have been notified. The IDF assesses that the device was planted on the forces’ route several weeks ago.

Immediately afterward, the IDF struck several terror infrastructure sites in several areas of southern Lebanon. The targets included observation posts and terror infrastructure from which Hezbollah terrorists had operated to advance and carry out terror attacks against our forces.

In Lebanon, reports said the IDF carried out strikes near the villages of Haris and Srebbine. Later, another wave of strikes was reported in Nabatieh al-Fawqa.

In addition, the IDF Spokesperson said that IDF forces operating in the security zone in southern Lebanon had earlier identified several Lebanese army soldiers who entered the area and set up roadblocks without prior coordination and contrary to the agreements. The forces acted to remove the Lebanese army soldiers after they did not withdraw, despite clarifications.

Lebanese media reported that the Lebanese army, for its part, claimed that the position in the area had already been established on the 10th of the month, in coordination with the Military Coordination Group for Lebanon (MCG4L), "for the purpose of accompanying residents while they inspect their agricultural land."
