Lebanese Army Says Soldier Wounded as Israeli Drone Hits Bulldozer Clearing Al-Mansouri

The Lebanese Army command said one of its soldiers was lightly wounded on Friday when an Israeli drone dropped a bomb at an army bulldozer in the southern village of Al-Mansouri, in the Tyre district. The army said the machine was opening a road when it was hit, after its units entered the town overnight to clear routes closed by recent strikes and to let displaced residents return. Israel ordered Al-Mansouri evacuated on Wednesday and struck it repeatedly this week, after accusing Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire in a Majdalzoun blast that killed two Israeli soldiers. The IDF did not comment on the incident.
