Three 'Israeli' military officers have been wounded -two severely- following separate security incidents in southern Lebanon over the last 24 hours, the military announced on Friday.
Drone strike severe injuries
The first incident occurred on Thursday, when an 'Israeli' military officer sustained severe injuries following the impact of a "suspicious aerial target" -the military’s standard terminology for an explosive drone or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)- in southern Lebanon.
Close-quarters engagement
The escalation continued into Friday morning during a separate operation. According to the 'Israeli' military, forces engaged in a fierce, close-quarters firefight with militants.
During the direct encounter, one 'Israeli' military officer was severely wounded, while a second officer sustained light injuries.
The military confirmed that all three officers involved in both incidents were promptly evacuated from the field to receive medical treatment at a hospital.
Their respective families have been formally notified.
The casualties come amid intensified cross-border friction and ongoing ground operations north of the border.
