Three IDF Soldiers Severely Wounded by Hezbollah Explosive Drone in Southern Lebanon
Three Israeli Defense Forces soldiers were severely injured early Saturday morning when a Hezbollah explosive drone struck their unit in the Ali Taher ridge area of southern Lebanon. The incident occurred around 3 a.m. during an operation by the IDF's 36th Division aimed at encircling dozens of Hezbollah militants hiding in tunnels in the ridge. The wounded soldiers received initial treatment on site before being evacuated by helicopter to Rambam Hospital in Haifa.
In response to the drone attack, the IDF launched airstrikes and artillery fire targeting Hezbollah command centers responsible for ordering the assault. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office confirmed the injuries in an English statement, noting the attack took place in the security zone. Subsequently, the IDF discovered that Hezbollah had deliberately placed civilians within the military compound targeted in the retaliation.
This incident occurred amid ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon, highlighting the escalating tensions and continued hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah forces in the region.
