An IDF soldier was severely wounded in a Hezbollah explosive drone attack in southern Lebanon today, the military says.
The soldier was taken to a hospital in serious condition and his family was notified, the IDF adds.
Separately, the IDF says interceptor missiles were launched at several rockets and apparent drones over areas of southern Lebanon where troops are deployed a short while ago.
