The Lebanese army says an Israeli strike today in the southern town of Deir ez-Zahrani targeted one of its military vehicles.
The strike wounded an officer and a soldier, the Lebanese Armed Forces says in a statement.
Israel says it is only targeting the Hezbollah terror group and not the Lebanese army, despite IDF strikes occasionally hitting members of the LAF amid the two and half years of fighting.
The IDF has not commented on the latest strike that wounded the two Lebanese soldiers, nor on a similar strike yesterday in the same area that wounded two other Lebanese soldiers.
