An unusual incident occurred in southern Lebanon last week when the Israeli military (IDF) mistakenly struck a Lebanese army armored personnel carrier (APC) containing soldiers, nearly causing a severe diplomatic crisis. The strike happened during an attempt to destroy an Israeli robotic APC that had gone out of control.
According to a report by Itay Blumenthal on Kan News, the Israeli robotic APC malfunctioned during an operation and began moving towards a Lebanese army post. In response, the IDF decided to strike the rogue vehicle from the air to prevent its further movement.
However, during the aerial operation, a Lebanese army APC was mistakenly identified as the target and attacked, with soldiers inside. Fortunately, the incident concluded without any casualties or damage.
The report highlighted that the mistaken strike could have escalated into a significant diplomatic crisis between Israel and Lebanon and potentially jeopardized ongoing direct talks between the two countries.
The IDF confirmed awareness of the incident and stated that its circumstances are under investigation. A spokesperson for the IDF remarked, "The incident is known and being investigated. We emphasize that IDF activity is directed solely against the Hezbollah terrorist organization and not against the Lebanese army."
