Israeli warplanes raid Lebanese army base
Israeli warplanes raided a Lebanese army base in south Lebanon today, killing three soldiers, a security official said.
The Israeli jets fired at least one missile on the base in the village of Sarba in Iqlim al Tuffah province, a highland region where Hezbollah is also believed to have offices and bases.
The three soldiers were killed instantly, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to give official statements.
Today’s casualties bring to 24 the number of Lebanese army soldiers killed in Israeli airstrikes since the start of the Israeli offensive against Lebanon on July 12.
