The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that four soldiers were killed during a clash with Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon on Thursday.

The IDF has not released detailed information about the circumstances of the clash, but it has expressed condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers.

The IDF said another soldier was killed and three more soldiers were wounded, including two officers, in separate incidents across southern Lebanon on Thursday.

Another reservist, from the 55th Paratroopers Brigade, was wounded in a battle with Hezbollah fighters, the IDF said.

A total of 21 Israeli soldiers have been killed in southern Lebanon since Israel began its ground operation there around three weeks ago.

Hezbollah on Wednesday confirmed the martyrdom of Hashem Safieddine, the top Hezbollah official widely expected to succeed martyred secretary general Hasssan Nasrallah, in an Israeli attack.

Hezbollah confirmed that Safieddine was killed in an Israeli airstrike.

Safieddine had been running Hezbollah alongside its deputy secretary general Naim Qassem since Nasrallah’s martyrdom and was expected to be formally elected as its next secretary general.
