The Israel Defense Forces said that earlier on Wednesday, one IDF soldier was seriously wounded, two were moderately wounded, and two others were lightly wounded after an explosive drone struck in southern Lebanon. In total, five soldiers were injured in the incident.
The wounded troops were evacuated to a hospital for medical treatment, and their families were notified, according to the military spokesperson. The statement did not provide further details on the location, unit, or circumstances of the drone strike beyond identifying it as a drone carrying explosives.
The report adds to a series of cross-border incidents tied to the fighting along the Israel-Lebanon frontier. No additional information was released immediately about the source of the drone or whether any response followed.
