Two Israeli forces killed in regime’s new push to invade southern Lebanon

The Israeli regime has announced the death of two more of its occupation forces in fierce clashes with the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah amid the illegal entity’s attempts to invade the south of the Arab country.

The Israel military said in a statement on Thursday that two soldiers from the Egoz and Golani Reconnaissance units were killed “by mortar fire,” and seven others were injured in clashes with Hezbollah fighters along the Lebanese border with the occupied territories.

The casualties took place a day after eight Israeli soldiers were killed during battles against Hezbollah as they pushed for the ground invasion of southern Lebanon.

Six of the occupation forces were Egoz commandos. An officer and four soldiers were seriously wounded in the same incident.

The latest casualties bring the total number of Israeli forces killed in the ground aggression against southern Lebanon since Tuesday to at least 16, a figure that is highly contested by local media reports and sources as the occupying regime has for long adhered to a policy of not disclosing its combat-related death toll.
