Four Israeli soldiers killed in southern Lebanon
TEL AVIV - The Israeli military said on Tuesday that four of its personnel were killed and two wounded during combat in southern Lebanon.
Israel's military said on Monday that a sixth soldier had been killed in fighting in southern Lebanon. Lebanon's armed forces said that a Lebanese soldier had been killed in an Israeli airstrike. At least nine Lebanese soldiers have been killed by Israel.
Lebanon's army has not been fighting Israeli forces.
The Israeli military on Monday issued evacuation warnings to residents of six villages in Lebanon's western Bekaa region, urging civilians to leave ahead of possible military operations, in the first such warning for those areas.
The military said the warning was prompted by what it described as militant activity in the area, without providing further details.
