Israel Says Lebanon Rocket Fire Kills Soldier
Israel said Friday rocket fire from Lebanon had killed one of its soldiers and wounded another near the border, where violence has flared during the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. The soldiers were hit during "operational activity" in the Shtula area in northern Israel, the army said in a statement, reported by AFP. The frontier between Lebanon and Israel has seen escalating exchanges of fire, mainly between the Israeli army and the Iran-backed Hezbollah group, since the Israel-Hamas war began on October 7, raising fears of a broader conflict.
