4 Israeli soldiers killed in tunnel collapse in south Lebanon
The Israeli military said Monday that four soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon, the first deaths announced in the area since the start of a ceasefire with Hezbollah 12 days ago.
The four reservists, all from the same battalion, "fell in combat" on Sunday, the military said without giving further details.
The Israeli army said the soldiers were killed when a tunnel they were in collapsed following its detonation, adding that their bodies were pulled out after a 12-hour rescue operation.
