A Lebanese Army soldier was killed in an additional Israeli drone strike on a motorcycle in the village of Reman near Nabatieh in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese media outlets.
A Lebanese Army soldier was killed Saturday morning in an Israeli drone strike on a motorcycle in the village of Reman near Nabatieh, according to Lebanese media. The strike is the latest in a series of targeted UAV attacks on motorcycles across southern Lebanon this week, which have killed at least seven people.
Lebanese reports attributed the strike to Israel, which rarely comments on individual operations across the border. The target’s precise affiliation as a member of the Lebanese Armed Forces was confirmed by local media, though no official announcement has been made by the Lebanese Army or government.
The village of Reman lies in the Nabatieh district near the Litani River, an area where repeated Israeli drone strikes on motorcycles have been reported since early June. The previous strikes killed individuals whose affiliations were not immediately disclosed or varied between Hezbollah operatives and civilians.
As The Zioneer reported June 13, a Lebanese soldier was severely wounded in a drone strike on a motorcycle near Nabatieh. Saturday’s incident marks the first confirmed death of a Lebanese regular soldier from such an attack during this wave.
