Israeli soldier killed, three hurt in south Lebanon clashes

The Israeli military announced on Tuesday that one of its soldiers was killed and three others were injured during clashes in southern Lebanon. Among the wounded, one soldier sustained moderate injuries while two others suffered light wounds, according to army statements.
Ceasefire violations continue
The incident occurred as Israel presses forward with an expanded offensive in southern Lebanon, triggered by a Hezbollah cross-border attack on March 2. The escalation continues despite a ceasefire agreement that took effect in November 2024. Lebanese health authorities report that Israeli strikes have killed at least 2,089 people and wounded 6,762 others since the latest round of hostilities began.
Washington talks underway
