01 · THE DISPATCH

A reserve soldier from the Commando Brigade (Oz Brigade) was wounded Monday evening during operational activity in the Arnoun area of southern Lebanon, according to military sources. The blast occurred near the village, and the IDF has not yet determined its cause—suspicions of an explosive device were raised in earlier reports, but remain unconfirmed. The wounded fighter was evacuated for medical treatment, and his family has been notified.

The incident marks the latest in a series of Israeli troop casualties in southern Lebanon in recent weeks, including reservists wounded by explosive drones and roadside bombs. Earlier Monday, The Zioneer reported a similar blast near Arnoun in which a reserve soldier was wounded under suspected circumstances. The IDF is investigating both events. Despite a formal ceasefire with Hezbollah, the military continues to operate in southern Lebanon to dismantle terrorist infrastructure and prevent violations of the agreement.
