The IDF cleared for publication Wednesday evening that two soldiers from Battalion 28 were killed and four others wounded when an explosive device detonated during operational activity in southern Lebanon. The incident adds to the toll of Israeli forces operating in the area.
The IDF announced on Wednesday evening that two soldiers from the 28th Battalion were killed and four others wounded after an explosive device detonated during operational activity in southern Lebanon. The names of the fallen have not yet been released pending family notification.
This is the latest in a series of casualty incidents involving IDF troops operating in the southern Lebanon theater. As The Zioneer has reported, the campaign has seen repeated losses from planted explosives and drone strikes, including a June incident in which a reservist was killed and seven wounded by a Hezbollah explosive device, and a separate event that killed five soldiers and wounded 13.
The IDF continues to conduct ground operations in the region. The military's clearance to publish this incident suggests the families have been notified.
