The Lebanese Islamic Resistance Hezbollah’s forces detonated explosive devices upon arrival of an Israeli force (Golani Brigade) to Tal Esmail border area, killing or injuring all of the enemy soldiers, a statement by the Resistance movement said on Monday.
The Zionist Israeli regime’s military confirmed the casualties and said that “Four troops were hurt, one seriously, in blast claimed by Hezbollah on Lebanon border.”
The bombs planted inside Lebanese territory detonated as soldiers crossed the border, the Times of Israel cited Hezbollah’s statement as saying, adding that Israeli fighter jets hit Hezbollah sites in overnight strikes.
While Hezbollah has already claimed responsibility for the border attack, the Israeli regime’s military said it was still conducting investigations into it.
The Israeli military said the incident took place during “operational activity” carried out by troops of the Golani Brigade’s reconnaissance unit and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit.
