The ground offensive, which Israel describes as a “limited operation,” apparently resulted in the deaths not only of several Israeli soldiers, but also of at least two Lebanese soldiers. Now the Lebanese army has also fired back.
“A soldier was killed after the Israeli enemy attacked a military post in the Bint Jbeil area in the south, and soldiers returned the shots,” the Lebanese Armed Forces said on Thursday.
Lebanon had previously reported the death of one of its soldiers involved in a Red Cross rescue operation in the south of the country.
Hezbollah: We destroyed Israeli tanks
On Tuesday evening, the Israeli army said it had begun a “limited” ground operation in the south of the country. On Wednesday it reported the first deaths in its own ranks since the start of this ground offensive. Eight Israeli soldiers were killed during fighting with Hezbollah. The pro-Iranian terrorist militia claimed on Wednesday that several Israeli tanks had also been destroyed. Three Merkava tanks were destroyed with rockets “while advancing towards the village of Maroun al-Ras,” the militia said in a statement on Wednesday.
In an interview with CNN on Thursday, Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdullah Bu Habib said Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to a ceasefire with Israel shortly before he was killed by the Israeli air force. Both the US and France were informed about this.
