2 soldiers killed in Lebanon in the first Israeli deaths since June truce with Hezbollah

Two Israeli soldiers were killed in an explosion in southern Lebanon, marking the first Israeli deaths since a shaky truce with Hezbollah was implemented in June. The escalation came after Israel launched strikes and issued warnings due to what it described as Hezbollah's violation of the ceasefire. Discussions between Lebanese and Israeli negotiators regarding withdrawal from occupied areas stalled amid the ongoing ground conflict.
