8 Israeli soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon during clashes with Hezbollah on Wednesday, following Israel’s ground invasion. The Israeli military did not provide details of their deaths but reported close-range fighting. Two Israeli divisions are active in the region to dismantle Hezbollah’s infrastructure. Hezbollah claimed to have fired rockets at the Israeli town of Avivim. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed condolences to the families of the soldiers and vowed to continue the fight. Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated, with Iran launching missiles at Israel earlier this week.
