Soldiers from the Paratroopers Brigade have been transported to the hospital, and their families have been notified, according to the military. IDF data indicates that three soldiers are in serious condition, one is moderately injured, while six are lightly wounded.

Bint Jbeil, a Hezbollah stronghold, has been the focus of IDF operations in southern Lebanon in recent days.

One IDF reservist was killed, and three other soldiers were injured when a military Humvee vehicle overturned in southern Lebanon last night, the army announced.

The fallen soldier has been identified as Sergeant (Res.) Ayal Uriel Bianco (30), a fire truck driver in the 188th Armored Brigade, from Katzrin.

Three more reservists were wounded in the same incident, one moderately and two lightly, and were evacuated for treatment, the IDF added.

According to Israeli military data, 34 soldiers have been seriously injured, while 78 have sustained moderate injuries since the beginning of the latest escalation.

Assessments within the Israeli military establishment indicate an increase in the intensity of the conflict in southern Lebanon.

Meanwhile, Israeli media, citing military and security sources, report that the situation on the ground is closer to a return to open war than to de-escalation, given the continuation of operations and the exchange of fire.
