2 soldiers moderately wounded in Hezbollah missile attack on troops in south Lebanon, IDF says

Two soldiers were moderately wounded in a Hezbollah missile attack on a military position in southern Lebanon on Friday afternoon, the military announces.

The soldiers served with the Givati Brigade. They were taken to a hospital and their families were notified, the army says.

Several anti-tank guided missiles were fired in the attack, according to the IDF. The military says that minutes later, the Hezbollah cell that carried out the attack was targeted in a strike.

Hezbollah took responsibility for the attack, which targeted the same army post the terror group had hit a day earlier, resulting in three more troops being wounded, including one seriously.

In all, 13 IDF soldiers have been wounded in Hezbollah attacks since hostilities resumed on Monday. Hezbollah began attacking Israel in what it said was a response to Israel’s killing of Iran’s supreme leader. In response, Israel launched a ground and air offensive aimed at pushing Hezbollah away from the border.

The Iran-backed Lebanese terror group has fired many dozens of rockets and drones at Israel since Monday, according to the IDF.
