A Lebanese soldier and his brother were killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon, the Lebanese army says.
According to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), the strike took place in the town of Khirbet Selm, which is outside of the Israeli-designated security zone.
The LAF says the pair were on a motorcycle heading from the soldier’s post to his home in the adjacent village of Souaneh.
The IDF does not immediately comment on the incident.
