"Lebanese army says two other personnel wounded after crashed Israeli drone explodes during inspection in Naqoura area. The Lebanese military says two soldiers have been killed and two wounded as they investigated an Israeli drone crash in southern Lebanon. The army said the downed Israeli drone exploded on Thursday during an inspection at the crash site in the Naqoura area, not far from Lebanon's border with Israel."
"The mandate for the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) was extended through the end of 2026, but after that, the UN will carry out an orderly and safe drawdown and withdrawal over the following year. The resolution aims to make Lebanon's military the sole provider of security in southern Lebanon, a goal complicated by Israel's continued presence in the country. Both Israel and its top ally, the United States, have been pushing to end the UNIFIL mission."
Two Lebanese soldiers were killed and two wounded when a downed Israeli drone exploded during an inspection at a crash site in the Naqoura area near Lebanon's border with Israel. President Joseph Aoun offered condolences and said the military is paying, in blood, to preserve stability in the south. The incident occurred amid near-daily Israeli attacks on Lebanon despite a November ceasefire with Hezbollah. The UN Security Council voted to terminate UNIFIL's mandate at the end of 2026 and to carry out an orderly drawdown and withdrawal over the following year. The resolution seeks to make Lebanon's military the sole security provider in southern Lebanon, a goal complicated by Israel's ongoing presence.
