Lebanon says one of its soldiers has been killed by Israeli fire on a military post near the country’s border Tuesday, the first such death since cross-border hostilities began in October.
“An army military position in the… Adaysseh area was bombarded by the Israeli enemy, leaving one soldier martyred and three others injured,” the Lebanese army says in a statement.
The IDF earlier said it had carried out airstrikes on a string of Hezbollah sites along the restive border.
The day has seen several incidents of cross-border fire, including a recent rocket attack on Kiryat Shmona. Israel generally shells the source of fire after such incidents.
