Two Israeli soldiers severely injured in southern Lebanon combat operations

 At least two Israeli soldiers were severely injured during combat operations in southern Lebanon, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Sunday.

The two were among multiple casualties suffered by the Israeli military in at least two separate incidents. The IDF wouldn’t reveal the exact number but said “multiple soldiers” had been injured.

The Galilee Medical Center said in a statement that seventeen Israeli soldiers injured in fighting in southern Lebanon had been treated at the facility since Sunday morning.

“Dr. Tzvi Shaleg, the deputy director of the medical center, reported that four of them are classified as in moderate condition, while the rest are in light condition (most suffering from shrapnel injuries),” a spokesperson for the hospital told CNN.
