IDF confirms explosive that wounded five Lebanese soldiers was from Hezbollah, not Israeli strike

The Israel Defense Forces have confirmed that an explosion which wounded five Lebanese soldiers was caused by a device belonging to Hezbollah rather than an Israeli military strike. The incident occurred when the Lebanese soldiers ran over the explosive.

This confirmation directly addresses and refutes initial claims holding Israel responsible for the incident. By identifying the ordnance as belonging to Hezbollah, the military clarification shifts the accountability for the hazard back to the Lebanese militant group.
