| Hezbollah responsible for blast that wounded five Lebanese soldiers today — IDF |
| 2026-08-03 |
| [IsraelTimes] An explosion that wounded five Lebanese soldiers earlier today was caused by a bomb planted by Hezbollah, the Israeli military says. Earlier, the Lebanese Armed Forces said five of its troops were lightly hurt after a blast struck their vehicle in the town of Kafra. The LAF initially blamed an Israeli strike, but walked back that claim a short while later, saying the blast was caused by a “suspicious object.” “Following a review and contrary to claims, it was confirmed that the explosive device did not belong to the IDF,” the Israeli military says, adding that “according to the information available to the IDF, the explosive device is assessed to have belonged to the Hezbollah terror organization.” The IDF says Israeli troops never had any presence in Kafra, which is located outside the military’s south Lebanon buffer zone. |
