Two soldiers were moderately wounded during an exchange of fire with Hezbollah operatives in southern Lebanon this morning, the military says.
The IDF says the troops were airlifted to a hospital and their families were notified.
The incident took place at around 11 a.m., when troops of the Golani Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit encountered several Hezbollah gunmen.
The Hezbollah gunmen fired at the troops, wounding two of them moderately. The soldiers returned fire, and the Israeli Air Force also struck Hezbollah sites in the area, including buildings used by the terror group and its anti-tank guided missile launch posts.
The military says it is continuing to operate in the area to locate and eliminate the operatives.
