UPDATE 1-Israeli strike on Lebanese troops, rescuers wounds two soldiers, Lebanon says

An ​Israeli strike on ‌Lebanese troops ​and rescuers during a rescue operation in the village of Majdal ‌Zoun in southern Lebanon wounded two Lebanese soldiers, the Lebanese army said on Tuesday.

The Lebanese civil defense said ‌three of its members were trapped under rubble after ‌the Israeli attack, adding that efforts were underway with the Lebanese army to evacuate them. The Israeli military did not immediately ⁠respond ​to a request ⁠for comment.

The U.S.-mediated ceasefire agreed between Israel and Lebanon has led ⁠to a significant reduction in hostilities, but Israel and Iran-backed ​militant group Hezbollah have continued to clash in southern ⁠Lebanon, where Israel has kept soldiers in the self-declared buffer ⁠zone. Israel ​has continued to carry out strikes across southern Lebanon, destroying homes it describes as infrastructure being used ⁠by Hezbollah. The Iran-backed group, meanwhile, has kept up its ⁠drone ⁠and rocket attacks against Israeli troops in Lebanon and on northern Israel.
