The strike targeted an army position in the volatile southern region near the Israeli border. Details about the incident remain limited, and the identities of the fallen soldiers have not been released.
The Lebanese army condemned the attack, calling it a violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and a dangerous escalation. They have urged the international community to intervene and prevent further aggressions.
There has been no immediate comment from Israeli authorities regarding the strike.
