The Lebanese army announced on Saturday the death of one of its soldiers and the injury of two others following the explosion of a suspicious object in a military vehicle in the town of Mansouri, which belongs to the Tyre district in southern Lebanon.

The army said in a statement: 'The martyrdom of one of the soldiers and the injury of an officer and a soldier as a result of the explosion of a suspicious object in an army vehicle in the town of Mansouri.'

The army did not provide details about the nature of what it described as a 'suspicious object,' indicating that 'follow-up is ongoing to uncover the details of the incident.'

This comes as the Israeli army continues its aggression on the country, despite the 'framework formula' signed by Beirut and Tel Aviv under US sponsorship on June 26, 2026, which stipulates a gradual Israeli withdrawal from all occupied Lebanese territories, starting with the implementation of a model in two unspecified pilot zones.

The formula did not include a timeline for withdrawal, and linked its completion to the Lebanese army assuming full security responsibility in the areas from which Israeli forces withdraw, along with the disarmament of armed groups, in reference to Hezbollah.

Since March 2, 2026, Israel has continued its aggression on Lebanon, resulting in the death of 4,324 people and the injury of 12,224 others, in addition to the displacement of more than one million people, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

Israel occupies areas in southern Lebanon, some for decades, and others since the previous war between October 2023 and November 2024.
