Earlier today, a female IDF soldier was moderately wounded by an explosive drone in southern Lebanon, according to military source Nitzan Shapira (N12). She was evacuated to a hospital and her family has been notified. This is the second drone-related injury to a female soldier in the area within a week, following the moderate wounding of an artillery soldier reported earlier by Army Radio.
Minutes after the report, journalist Barak Betesh (i24NEWS) stated that former US President Donald Trump is 'escalating his tone' in response to the incident, without providing specific details or an attributed source. As of now, no official statement from the Trump campaign, the White House, or the IDF has confirmed any change in US posture or communication with Israel.
Background: The IDF has reported multiple drone strikes on its forces in southern Lebanon in recent days, including a severe wounding of an officer on June 5 and the death of a soldier on June 6. The northern border remains under heightened alert. This bulletin is based on a single-sourced report and an unnamed political statement; the causal link between the wounding and Trump's alleged shift remains unverified.
