JERUSALEM, March 30 (Xinhua) -- An Israeli soldier was killed in southern Lebanon by an anti-tank missile fired by Hezbollah, the military said in a statement on Monday.
An armored corps officer was severely injured in the same incident.
His death brings the number of Israeli soldiers killed in southern Lebanon to six since the resumption of full-scale hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.
Cross-border fighting has continued along the Lebanon-Israel border since March 2, when Hezbollah launched rockets toward Israel for the first time since a ceasefire agreed on Nov. 27, 2024, triggering intensified Israeli airstrikes across southern and eastern Lebanon, and on Beirut's southern suburbs. ■
