Two Lebanese soldiers were killed and two others wounded after an Israeli drone crashed and exploded in southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese army. The incident occurred as troops were inspecting the drone in the Naqura area, marking the fourth deadly event for the army since it began deploying in the south following a ceasefire with Israel. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun emphasized the ongoing sacrifices made by the military to maintain stability and highlighted the timing of the incident with the extension of the United Nations peacekeeping mandate. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam expressed condolences and reaffirmed the government's support for the army, calling it the cornerstone of national unity and sovereignty.
