4 Israeli Soldiers Died In Lebanon When Hezbollah Tunnel Exploded

The four Israeli soldiers who died in southern Lebanon were most likely killed in an accidental explosion of explosives when they destroyed the Hezbollah tunnel that was storing weapons.

The Israeli military said its four soldiers were killed in the fighting, without providing further details.

Reported by Reuters on Monday, December 9, Army Radio said the incident occurred on Sunday and an initial review found the explosion triggered a secondary explosion, which caused the collapse of the tunnel while soldiers were inside.

Israeli authorities did not blame the explosion on Hezbollah or say the explosion was a violation of the ceasefire agreement on November 26.

The two sides have previously accused each other of committing violations amid a ceasefire over the past two weeks.
