An Israeli strike on a Lebanese army center in Kafra, south Lebanon, resulted in the death of two soldiers and left three others wounded, as reported by the Lebanese army. The incident has sparked condemnation from Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, who criticized Israel for the attack and expressed disappointment in the international community's perceived silence regarding what he referred to as 'Israel's crimes.'
Prime Minister Mikati emphasized that the Israeli strike targeted brave soldiers who were fulfilling their national duty of protecting the land and defending the people. He called for a global stance of conscience to halt such aggression by Israel, highlighting the need for international intervention to address the ongoing conflict.
While Israel is engaged in a conflict with Hezbollah, an Iran-backed paramilitary group operating in southern Lebanon, the recent strikes have not only claimed the lives of Lebanese soldiers but have also resulted in injuries to several others. The Lebanese government has reported that at least three soldiers have been killed, and five others have been wounded in the crossfire.
The escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon underscore the volatile situation in the region, with both sides facing significant challenges in maintaining peace and security. The international community's response to the conflict remains a point of contention, with calls for greater intervention to prevent further loss of life and promote stability in the area.
