The IDF officially confirmed Wednesday that a Hezbollah explosive drone exploded on an engineering vehicle in Lebanon, calling the incident a blatant violation of the ceasefire. No casualties were reported.
The IDF confirmed Wednesday afternoon that a Hezbollah explosive drone struck an unmanned engineering vehicle in the Ali Taher Ridge area of southern Lebanon overnight. The military described the incident as a 'blatant violation' of the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon. No IDF injuries were reported.
The attack, which occurred during the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, marks the first such incident since the ceasefire framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon was finalized in late June. The IDF has maintained a presence in the strategic ridge area, which has been a repeated focus of Israeli ground operations and where the military previously uncovered extensive Hezbollah infrastructure. Israeli officials are currently deliberating a response.
The Zioneer reported the incident earlier Wednesday afternoon, citing the official IDF spokesperson.
