An incident in southern Lebanon has resulted in the deaths of two Israeli soldiers. This is the first time Israeli soldiers have been killed since a truce was implemented with Hezbollah in June. The explosion that caused the deaths also seriously wounded four other soldiers.

The Israeli military has reported that the incident occurred when the soldiers entered a site in a village. The nature of the explosive is being reviewed. In response to the incident, the Israeli army launched strikes in southern Lebanon, citing a violation of the ceasefire by Hezbollah.

Further details about the incident are available from Israeli media and the Israeli military.
