An Israeli attack on a Lebanese Army center in Kafra, southern Lebanon, killed two soldiers and injured three, according to the military.
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned Israel for the attack, also criticizing the international community for what he called its silence on “Israel’s crimes.”
“This persistent Israeli crime against Lebanon has not spared the brave soldiers today who are fulfilling their national duty to protect the land and defend the people, and it is the responsibility of the international community that is silent about Israel’s crimes, while what is necessary it is a global position of conscience to put an end to this aggression”, said Mikati on X.
While Israel is at war with Hezbollah, the Iran-backed paramilitary group operating in southern Lebanon, its attacks have killed at least three Lebanese soldiers and injured five others, according to the government.
THE CNN has contacted the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and is awaiting feedback.
Understand the escalation in conflicts in the Middle East
Iran’s missile attack on Israel on the 1st marked a new stage in the regional conflict in the Middle East. On one side of the war is Israel, with support from the United States. On the other, the Axis of Resistance, which receives financial and military support from Iran and which has a series of paramilitary groups.
There are seven conflict fronts currently open: the Islamic Republic of Iran; Hamas, in the Gaza Strip; Hezbollah, in Lebanon; the Syrian government and the militias operating in the country; the Houthis, in Yemen; Shia groups in Iraq; and different militant organizations in the West Bank.
Israel has soldiers on three of these fronts: Lebanon, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. In the other four, it carries out aerial bombings.
The Israeli Army began a “limited ground operation” in Lebanon on September 30, days after Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a bombing of the group’s headquarters in the Beirut suburb.
The Israel Defense Forces say they have killed virtually the entire Hezbollah chain of command in similar bombings carried out in recent weeks.
On September 23, Lebanon had its deadliest day since the 2006 war, with more than 500 fatalities.
At least two Brazilian teenagers died in the attacks. Itamaraty condemned the situation and called for an end to hostilities.
With the increase in hostilities, the Brazilian government announced an operation to repatriate Brazilians in Lebanon.
In the West Bank, the Israeli military is trying to dismantle groups opposed to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory.
In the Gaza Strip, Israel seeks to eradicate Hamas, responsible for the October 7 attack that left more than 1,200 people dead, according to information from the Israeli government. The Israeli operation killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, according to the enclave’s Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar remains hidden in tunnels in the Gaza Strip, where dozens of Israelis kidnapped by Hamas are also believed to be in captivity.
