The three soldiers who were seriously wounded in southern Lebanon overnight were hit by an explosive drone launched by Hezbollah, according to the military.
At around 2:30 a.m., Hezbollah launched the drone at troops operating in the Ali Taher Ridge area.
The drone exploded near soldiers of the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, seriously wounding an officer and two soldiers.
The soldiers were taken to a hospital, and their families were notified, the army adds.
In response, the military struck Hezbollah sites in Nabatieh and Ansar, killing a senior commander in the terror group.
