An incident in southern Lebanon has resulted in the deaths of two Israeli soldiers. This is the first time Israeli soldiers have been killed since a truce was implemented with Hezbollah in June. The explosion that killed the soldiers also seriously wounded four others.

The incident occurred when the soldiers entered a site in a village. The nature of the explosive used is currently under review. In response to the incident, the Israeli army launched strikes in southern Lebanon, citing a violation of the ceasefire by Hezbollah.

Further details about the incident and the subsequent response are available from Israeli media and military reports.
