At 14:29 Jerusalem, N12's Nitzan Shapira reported that the IDF has officially confirmed a Hezbollah explosive drone detonated on an IDF engineering vehicle in southern Lebanon, describing the incident as a violation of the ceasefire. No casualties were reported.
Initial reports of the strike surfaced around 11:18 Jerusalem, with the IDF confirming the hit and identifying the vehicle as a D9 armored bulldozer. By 13:49, The Zioneer reported that Israel had accused Hezbollah and was preparing a response. At 14:21, The Zioneer further reported that the IDF had officially confirmed the incident. The N12 report now provides additional corroboration from a separate Israeli news outlet.
The Zioneer has previously covered Hezbollah's ceasefire violations, including a claim of a first attack on Israeli forces since the cessation of hostilities (Mon Jun 15) and a barrage of over 50 rockets targeting Israeli troops (Sat Jun 20). The current incident occurred on the Ali Taher ridge, where the IDF has previously uncovered extensive terror infrastructure.
The IDF has not yet announced a specific retaliatory response, though an Israeli official source indicated that a response is under discussion. The timing and scope of any Israeli action remain unclear.
