IDF Reservist Severely Wounded in South Lebanon Blast

An IDF reservist was severely wounded Monday by an explosion during operations in southern Lebanon, the military said. The blast occurred around 1:30 p.m. during Commando Brigade operations in Arnoun; the cause remains under military investigation. The soldier was evacuated to a hospital and his family was notified. The incident is a costly reminder that enforcing Hezbollah's rollback is not an abstract diplomatic clause but dangerous daily work by Israeli soldiers protecting northern communities.
