One soldier was killed and 18 others were wounded, including several with severe injuries, following an Israeli airstrike on a Lebanese Army outpost in the town of Amiriyah, located along the coastal highway between Qlayleh and Tyre.

The attack also caused significant damage to the military facility.

Caretaker prime minister Najib Mikati condemned the attack, deeming it as a “direct, bloody message rejecting all efforts and ongoing contacts” to end the war.

Later, the Israeli army issued a statement in which it apologized for striking the Lebanese Army post, arguing that the incident took place in an area where fighting is ongoing against Hezbollah.

“The Israeli army regrets the incident and clarifies that it is fighting in a targeted manner against the Hezbollah terror organization, and not against the Lebanese Army,” the military said, adding that the incident is under further investigation.
