April 29 (Reuters) – A Lebanese soldier and his brother were killed in an Israeli strike in Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon, the Lebanese army said on Wednesday.
It said the pair were on a motorcycle, travelling from the soldier’s post to his home when the strike occurred.
The Israeli military said it was looking into the report.
Separately, the Israeli military said a contractor working for an engineering company on behalf of Israel’s defence ministry was killed on Tuesday in southern Lebanon in a drone attack claimed by Hezbollah.
The group fired two rockets into Israel on Wednesday, one of which was intercepted, the military said. There were no reports of casualties.
