The condition of four IDF soldiers wounded in a previous incident in southern Lebanon has stabilized, according to reports. One of the soldiers has resumed communicating with his family. No further details on the incident or the soldiers' identities have been released.
One of the four IDF reserve soldiers wounded in Wednesday's IED explosion in the southern Lebanese village of Majdal Zoun, an incident that killed two comrades, has resumed communication with his family, Rambam Hospital in Haifa reported Thursday afternoon. The four soldiers are now in stable condition, with one having regained consciousness earlier in the day.
The Zioneer earlier reported that at 06:03 Jerusalem Thursday, initial reports indicated the four soldiers were in serious condition. Shortly thereafter, their names were released. By the same time, Rambam Hospital confirmed that the soldiers' condition had stabilized, with one regaining consciousness. The IDF is still investigating whether the house was rigged before or after the ceasefire took effect.
The incident is part of ongoing operations in southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah has increasingly used planted explosives. As The Zioneer reported on June 18, a similar booby-trap explosion killed an IDF reservist and wounded seven others. The threat of pre-positioned ordnance remains a significant challenge for Israeli forces operating in the area.
The investigation into the exact timing of the house's rigging remains unresolved.
