BEIRUT, Lebanon, June 20, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The Lebanese army said an Israeli strike killed one of its soldiers in the country's south on Saturday, despite a new ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah reached a day earlier.

"An Israeli enemy strike targeted an army soldier on the Kfar Rumman-Nabatieh road, leading to his martyrdom," an army statement said, charging that "the continuation of brutal Israeli attacks aims to obstruct any solution that would allow for restoring stability in Lebanon".
