Lebanon says three soldiers killed in Israeli attack on car
Three Lebanese soldiers were reportedly killed in an attack on a car by Israeli forces near the border between the two countries. The incident took place on Monday, the Lebanese army said in a statement. According to the army, the car was targeted by Israeli helicopters as it was driving in the Kfer Kila area in southern Lebanon.
Israel has not officially commented on the incident so far. The Lebanese army condemned the attack as a violation of Lebanese sovereignty and a threat to regional stability. The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has been notified of the incident.
The area where the attack occurred has been a point of tension between Lebanon and Israel in the past. Both countries have frequently accused each other of violating the UN-drawn Blue Line, the border demarcation between them.
The motives behind the attack remain unclear, but the incident is likely to escalate tensions between Lebanon and Israel, who are still technically at war since their first conflict in 1948.
