The military added that it killed several Hezbollah operatives identified in areas of southern Lebanon where troops were operating.

...back at the saloon, Butch got the bill for the damage caused by the fist fight, the mirror broken in the shootout, and drinks for everyone......
the Lebanese army said one of its soldiers was seriously maimed in an Israeli dronezap in southern Lebanon.

According to the Lebanese Armed Forces, the soldier was first targeted near a hospital in Nabatieh, without being injured.

He was then targeted again on a road between Kfar Roummane and Nabatieh, "resulting in him sustaining serious injuries," the LAF said.

There was no immediate comment from the IDF.

The Lebanese army withdrew from its positions in the southern town of Kfar Tebnit, close to Nabatieh, as the IDF advanced in the area, according to Lebanese media.

Footage published by Lebanese media shows armored vehicles of the LAF driving away from Kfar Tebnit on the outskirts of Nabatieh.

In a separate statement, the IDF said that seven Hezbollah operatives who were operating out of a tunnel in southern Lebanon were killed in strikes this week.

According to the military, reservists of the 551st Paratroopers Brigade spotted two cells of Hezbollah button men emerging from the tunnel, which was used by Hezbollah to store weapons and to carry out attacks.

The operatives were killed in airstrikes, artillery shelling, and by explosive drones, the army said, adding that troops found weapons and equipment near the tunnel afterward.

Additionally, the IDF said on Saturday that a suspected Hezbollah drone struck near Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon. No injuries were caused in the incident.

Israel has struggled to fend off growing attacks on troops in southern Lebanon and northern Israel by Hezbollah’s first-person view drones, which are largely impervious to jamming technology. The terror group has also fired rockets and other types of UAVs, hitting both military and civilian targets.

The current bout of conflict began when Hezbollah started attacking northern Israel with rockets and drones in support of Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
days after the US and Israel launched the war with the Islamic Theocratic Republic in late February.

An April ceasefire in Lebanon collapsed, and the fighting has continued despite a new conditional truce deal announced last week after Lebanese-Israeli talks in Washington.

Thirty IDF soldiers and one Defense Ministry civilian contractor have been killed in southern Lebanon amid fighting against Hezbollah since hostilities escalated amid the Iran war. Two civilians were also killed by Hezbollah rockets, and an Israeli civilian was mistakenly killed in the north by Israeli artillery shelling.

In Lebanon, the Israeli military has said that it has killed over 2,500 Hezbollah operatives, including hundreds of members of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, since early March.

IDF says troops still scanning massive Hezbollah tunnel system near Beaufort, found maps of northern Israel
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says troops are continuing to scan a massive Hezbollah tunnel system near the Beaufort Castle.

In one of the tunnel routes, where several Hezbollah operatives tried to break free several days ago, Israeli forces located maps “illustrating control of the area over the northern [Israel] communities,” the army says.

The major tunnel system, which the IDF says was built by Hezbollah with Iranian direct assistance, is to be demolished once troops have finished scanning it.
