Lebanese authorities deny earlier reports of an Israeli strike in the area, while a security source reports that a Lebanese army soldier was killed when a generator with a planted explosive device detonated in al-Mansouri.
A security source in Lebanon reported that a Lebanese army soldier was killed in the explosion of a generator that had been booby-trapped in al-Mansouri. The report comes as Lebanese authorities deny earlier claims of an Israeli strike in the same area.
The Zioneer has reported on multiple incidents in southern Lebanon in recent weeks. On June 26, a drone strike in al-Mansouri killed one person, according to Lebanese media. On June 20, the Lebanese army announced that one of its soldiers was killed in an Israeli strike. Other incidents include a drone strike on a vehicle in Tibnine on June 15 and a motorcycle strike on June 19. This latest report appears to describe a different type of incident—an explosive device planted in a generator rather than a direct strike.
The source of the report is a single security source, and the details remain unverified by independent confirmation. The identity of the soldier and the broader circumstances are not yet disclosed.
