The 'Israeli' army confirmed that one soldier was seriously wounded and two others injured during a confrontation with a resistance fighter in the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil, according to 'Israeli' Army Radio.
The incident occurred when a unit from the 679th Brigade (Yiftah) entered a building in the area and came under fire at close range. The exchange left three 'Israeli' soldiers wounded, including one in serious condition.
Airstrike follows ground engagement
Following the clash, 'Israeli' warplanes bombed the building where the confrontation took place. Ground forces then launched search operations for the fighter, whose whereabouts remain unknown.
Ongoing escalation despite ceasefire framework
The incident comes amid continued cross-border tensions in southern Lebanon, where 'Israeli' forces maintain positions despite a US-sponsored ceasefire framework aimed at reducing hostilities.
The clash follows a series of recent incidents along the border, including explosive attacks and deadly confrontations involving 'Israeli' troops in nearby villages.
Earlier this week, 'Israeli' forces reported additional casualties in separate engagements in Aita al-Shaab and Deir Seryan, underscoring the continued volatility along the frontier.
Figures cited by 'Israeli' Channel 12 said Hezbollah carried out hundreds of operations in recent months, including rocket fire, anti-tank strikes and direct clashes with 'Israeli' forces across the border.
