The Israeli military has confirmed that two of its soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon on Sunday, marking the first Israeli military fatalities since hostilities with Hezbollah resumed last week. The deaths occurred amid intensified Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon.

Details on the circumstances of the soldiers’ deaths have not been released. Clashes continue along the Israel-Lebanon border, with both sides exchanging fire. The escalation follows a series of U.S.-Israeli military actions targeting Iran, which experts say have heightened regional tensions.

Lebanese authorities report at least 394 people have been killed and more than 1,130 injured in Israeli airstrikes. Among the fatalities are 83 children and 42 women, while the wounded include at least 254 children and 274 women. Rescue teams continue to search affected areas as casualties rise.

The conflict has displaced over 450,000 people within Lebanon, according to the Ministry for Social Affairs. Israeli officials assert that the airstrikes aim to weaken Hezbollah and eliminate threats along Israel’s northern border, while Lebanese officials warn of a worsening humanitarian crisis. The situation remains tense, and the risk of further escalation persists without diplomatic intervention.
