Sharjah24 - AFP: Five troops were killed in southern Lebanon on Sunday, according to the Israeli military, increasing the total number of soldiers killed since combat operations began on September 30 to 37.
The soldiers "fell during combat in southern Lebanon," the army said in a statement, adding that they were killed on Saturday.
Hezbollah began launching rockets at Israel on October 8, 2023, in support of Hamas after the Palestinian militant group launched its unprecedented attack on Israel the previous day.
Israel dramatically escalated its air strikes on Lebanon late last month before launching ground operations in southern Lebanon.
The war has left at least 1,615 people dead in Lebanon since September 23, according to an AFP tally based on official figures, though the real number is likely to be higher due to gaps in the data.
