Two reservists killed, four seriously wounded by IED blast in south Lebanon; IDF strikes Hezbollah in response

The Israeli military resumed strikes in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, alleging that it was doing so in response to Hezbollah’s “blatant violation” of a tenuous ceasefire, as talks on expanding the truce between the two countries were said to hit a bump in the road in Rome.

One person was reported killed in the strike, and 12 others were injured.

The IDF did not immediately provide details on the terror group’s alleged violation of the truce, only saying that it launched “precise strikes” in southern Lebanon in response.

A short while before launching the strikes — the first since August 1 — the IDF issued the first evacuation warning for an area of southern Lebanon in weeks, and called for residents of Mansouri to evacuate at least one kilometer north of the village.

“In light of the Hezbollah terror organization’s violation of the ceasefire agreement, the IDF is compelled to operate against it with force,” said Lt. Col. Ella Waweya, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokeswoman.

“Anyone located near Hezbollah operatives, facilities, or weapons is putting their life at risk!” she added.

The Lebanese health ministry said one person was killed and 12 others were wounded in the strike, which it said targeted Tebnine, located about 25 kilometers (15 miles) from Mansouri.

The state-run National News Agency said that the strike hit a prayer room in the town’s cemetery.

There was no immediate information on the identity of the dead.
