The Lebanese Army announced that an Israeli airstrike on the Kfar Rumman road near Nabatieh killed one of its soldiers, according to an official statement. Separate local reports note four other fatalities in the adjacent village of Arab Salim. The IDF has not commented.
The Lebanese Army reported its second soldier killed by an Israeli airstrike this morning, following an earlier announcement at 11:02 Jerusalem time of a first fatality in the same Nabatieh area. The latest strike targeted the Kfar Rumman road, the army said in a statement. Separately, local sources report four people killed in the nearby village of Arab Salim; it is unclear whether these are related to the same or an additional strike. The IDF has not commented on either incident. The Nabatieh area has been the site of repeated Israeli strikes over the past several days, as reported by The Zioneer, including a series of four separate airstrikes earlier this week that killed four individuals near the city. The affiliations of the Arab Salim fatalities have not been disclosed.
