Israeli army says two soldiers killed in southern Lebanon, the first Israeli deaths since June truce with Hezbollah

The Israeli military reported that two of its soldiers were killed during combat operations in southern Lebanon. These fatalities represent the first Israeli deaths since the implementation of a shaky truce established in June between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. The Israeli army confirmed the deaths occurred in the southern region, marking a significant escalation in casualties following the ceasefire agreement intended to halt hostilities between the two opposing forces in the area.
