Lebanon reports 2 soldiers killed by Israeli drone that exploded after crashing

[IsraelTimes] Lebanese president says ‘army once again paying in blood the price of maintaining stability’ in the country, as 2 others hurt in 4th deadly incident amid Israel-Hezbollah truce
Blame Hezbollah for putting you in the middle of their war, guys And stop whining — it’s unbecoming for big, tough soldiers to whine. Lebanon’s army said two personnel were killed Thursday after an Israeli drone that had crashed in the country’s south exploded, the latest deadly incident for Lebanese troops near the Israeli border.
Under a November ceasefire that sought to end more than a year of hostilities including two months of open war between Israel and Hezbollah, Lebanon’s army has been deploying in the country’s south and dismantling the Iran-backed terror group’s infrastructure there with the support of UN observers.
“While army personnel were inspecting an Israeli enemy drone after it fell in the Naqura area, it exploded, leading to the death of an officer and a soldier and wounding two other personnel,” the army said in a statement.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said in a statement that “the army is once again paying in blood the price of maintaining stability in the south.”
He said it was the fourth deadly incident for the army since it began deploying in south Lebanon after the ceasefire.
Earlier this month, six Lebanese soldiers were killed in a blast at a weapons depot near the border that a military source said belonged to Hezbollah.
IDF ‘expresses regret’ after Lebanon says two soldiers killed in Israeli drone explosion
[IsraelTimes] The IDF expresses regret for an incident yesterday in which an Israeli drone that had crashed in southern Lebanon exploded, killing and wounding several members of the Lebanese Armed Forces.
In a statement, the military says the IDF has opened a probe into the incident, which it attributes to a “technical malfunction.”
It acknowledges that following the explosion, “the IDF received reports that a number of Lebanese army soldiers were harmed.”
“The possibility that the incident was caused by an IDF weapon explosion is being examined,” the military says, adding that it “regrets the harm to Lebanese army soldiers.”
According to the military, the drone had been intended to target a Hezbollah site that the terror group was rebuilding “in violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon, and not against the Lebanese army soldiers.”
The IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee issues a similar statement in Arabic on X.
The Lebanese military has said that two people were killed in the blast, including an officer, and two others were injured.
