Israel’s military reported that since February 28, at least 16 of its soldiers have been killed and 690 injured amid ongoing hostilities involving Iran and Lebanon. The figures were released on Sunday, according to Anadolu. Among the injured, 96 are in serious condition and 42 are in critical condition, while 149 soldiers remain hospitalized.

In the past 24 hours alone, 37 new injuries were recorded, most resulting from explosive attacks, though the specific locations were not disclosed. Israeli media outlet Maariv reported that two soldiers were killed and 12 others wounded in two separate explosions in the so-called “Yellow Line” area of southern Lebanon, an informal boundary extending 4 to 10 kilometers inside Lebanon.

The report highlights the continuing intensity of the conflict along Israel’s northern front, with the military facing sustained casualties as clashes persist in the border region.
