The IDF apologizes for striking a Lebanese Army post in southern Lebanon earlier today, killing a soldier and wounding 18 others.
“The incident took place in an area where fighting is ongoing against the Hezbollah terror organization,” the Israeli military says in response to a query by The Times of Israel.
The strike hit a Lebanese Army center in the town of Al-Amiriya on the Al-Qalila-Tyre road.
“The IDF regrets the incident and clarifies that it is fighting in a targeted manner against the Hezbollah terror organization, and not against the Lebanese Army,” the military says, adding that the incident is under further investigation.
