An 'Israeli' soldier was killed by a Hezbollah anti-tank missile in southern Lebanon on Thursday afternoon, according to the 'Israeli' military, on the first day of the latest US-brokered ceasefire.

The IOF identified the soldier as 21-year-old Capt. Eitan Shmuel Lemberg. He is the first Israeli soldier killed in Lebanon since the new ceasefire went into effect early Thursday morning (local time).

Since the start of the war with Iran three months ago, 28 'Israeli' soldiers have been killed in southern Lebanon or along the border. Fifteen of those were killed since the previous ceasefire went into effect in mid-April. A civilian contractor was also killed.
