JAKARTA - Two Israeli soldiers killed in southern Lebanon died after an explosive device exploded as they entered a building in the town of Majdal Zoun.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said the soldiers were carrying out a clearing operation to cripple Hezbollah's infrastructure in the city. Four other soldiers were seriously wounded.
As reported by CNN, Thursday, August 6, the IDF stated that it was still trying to determine when the explosive device was installed and how it was detonated.
In a statement, the Israeli military described the incident as a "clear violation of the ceasefire" and triggered an increase in Israeli airstrikes on a number of locations in southern Lebanon.
The incident also caused Israeli and Lebanese negotiators to prematurely halt US-mediated talks in Rome that day.
