The IDF says it is investigating reports that three Lebanese soldiers were killed in a strike yesterday in southern Lebanon.
The Lebanese army claimed that its soldiers were hit during the evacuation of wounded people on the outskirts of the village of Yater.
According to the IDF, a building confirmed to have been used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon was struck in the incident.
“The IDF is investigating whether, as a result of the strike, a number of soldiers of the Lebanese army were accidentally hit,” the military says in response to a query on the matter.
“The IDF clarifies that it does not intend to harm the soldiers of the Lebanese army and that it is fighting only against the Hezbollah terror organization,” the military says, adding that the incident is being further investigated.
