The Israeli occupation army announced on Saturday, September 19, 2026, that two reserve soldiers were injured in an explosion of an explosive device that targeted a military engineering vehicle in the Salouqi area in southern Lebanon. The army carried out airstrikes on sites in southern Lebanon following the incident. The army radio suggested that the device was planted before the ceasefire came into effect, without providing details about the responsible party. The incident comes amid ongoing tensions despite Lebanon and Israel signing a "framework formula" in Washington on June 26, 2026, stipulating a gradual Israeli withdrawal and the deployment of the Lebanese army. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun stated that the main challenge is Israel's withdrawal from the occupied villages. The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that the death toll since March 2, 2026, has risen to 4,386 martyrs and 12,407 injured, and since October 8, 2023, to 8,953 martyrs and 30,643 injured.
