The Lebanese army says Israeli fire killed a soldier on Wednesday, a day after it said three other personnel died in a strike on their position in south Lebanon.
A soldier “died of his wounds sustained due to the Israel army targeting of an army vehicle” near Qlayaa in south Lebanon, a statement on X says.
On Tuesday, the military said three soldiers were killed when “the Israeli enemy targeted an army position in the town of Sarafand,” where the health ministry said eight people were wounded.
AFP images show destruction at the site on the Mediterranean coast, some 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Israeli frontier, with a concrete structure destroyed and a vehicle among the debris.
Lebanon’s official National News Agency reports Israeli shelling and airstrikes in south Lebanon overnight and on Wednesday, saying Israeli troops were seeking to advance further near the town of Khiam.
The NNA also says Israel forces are “attempting to advance from the Kfarshuba hills… to open up a new front under the cover of fire and artillery shells and air strikes.”
“Violent clashes are taking place” between Hezbollah and Israeli forces, it adds.
The IDF said on Tuesday that it had expanded its deployment in southern Lebanon, sending troops toward areas where attacks have been launched against the city of Kiryat Shmona.
