Israeli Airstrike Kills Lebanese Soldier in Eastern Lebanon
Beirut, May 27 (QNA) - A Lebanese soldier was killed in an Israeli bombing raid on Tuesday near Qaraoun Dam in West Bekaa, eastern Lebanon, the Lebanese army said in a statement on Wednesday.
The statement added that one of the military units had succeeded on Wednesday in dragging the body of the deceased soldier following persistent field efforts, as access to the body was impossible on Tuesday due to continuous security threats and belligerent targeting of the region.
The site in question had come under several Israeli airstrikes yesterday, which killed the soldier and some paramedics while they were conducting a humanitarian evacuation mission.
Meanwhile, Israel is continuing its attacks on Lebanon, despite the effective truce accord that started on April 16 and was extended for the second time on May 15 for 45 days, amid concerns over the exacerbation of the security and humanitarian situation in the region. (QNA)
