The IDF stated that it has no knowledge of strikes in the Kafra area of southern Lebanon, following claims by the Lebanese Armed Forces that five soldiers were wounded there earlier Sunday. An Israeli security source had already denied the report.
Sunday's IDF statement comes minutes after the Lebanese Armed Forces reported that five of its soldiers were lightly wounded by an Israeli strike in the town of Kafra, southern Lebanon, while they were escorting residents. An Israeli security source had already told N13/Army Radio that the IDF had no knowledge of a strike in that area, and that footage of the damaged vehicle did not appear to indicate a drone attack. The military's official statement now confirms that position. The details of the incident in Kafra remain under examination.
