Three Israeli soldiers were injured, one critically, during a military operation in Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon, according to reports published on Friday by Lebanon-based outlet Al Mayadeen. The Israeli army stated that the incident occurred when a unit from the 679th Brigade entered a building and came under fire from an armed fighter. Following the clash, Israeli warplanes carried out an airstrike on the building and conducted a search operation, but the fighter’s location remained unconfirmed.

Despite a ceasefire framework brokered by the United States and regional understandings, Israeli forces have continued operations in parts of southern Lebanon. Earlier in the week, two Israeli reserve soldiers were injured, one seriously, in an explosive attack targeting a field command post in Aita al-Shaab. A day before that, a Hezbollah fighter’s assault in Deir Siryan killed an Israeli captain and wounded another soldier.

According to Israel’s Channel 12, between April 17 and June 20, 2026, Israeli forces carried out 637 military operations in Lebanon, including 440 inside the so-called “Yellow Line” and 187 in occupied Palestinian territories.
