Blast kills Lebanese soldier in south, Israel blames Hezbollah
The Lebanese military has said that a soldier was killed "as a result of the explosion of a suspicious object in an army vehicle" in the southern town of Mansouri.
Commenting on the incident, the Israeli military said that "the explosive device did not belong" to it, and suggested that Hezbollah had planted the device.
"It should be noted that the Lebanese Army vehicle entered the Security Zone without prior coordination with the (Israeli army), as required according to the existing coordination mechanism," the Israeli military added.
