Two Israeli soldiers were killed in an explosion in southern Lebanon, marking the first Israeli deaths since a shaky truce between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group was implemented in June. Lebanese authorities reported that subsequent Israeli retaliatory attacks in southern Lebanon killed at least one person.
The flare-up in violence coincided with the latest round of talks between the two countries taking place in Rome. Meanwhile, Iran announced it is in the final stage of drafting an agreement concerning the Strait of Hormuz waterway with Oman, as part of broader regional developments.
