Tel Aviv: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said an Israeli tank “accidentally struck an Egyptian post” near Kerem Shalom in the Egypt-Gaza-Israel tri-border zone.
The IDF expresses regret over the incident, Ynet News reported, citing a statement issued Sunday evening. Hezbollah announced in the afternoon that two of its members, Ali Muhammad Marmar and Taha Abbas, were killed in an IDF strike in Lebanon.
According to reports, 10 members of the Lebanese terrorist group were killed in Israeli strikes on Saturday and Sunday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that if Hezbollah decided to join the war, it would be the biggest mistake of its life.
Speaking to soldiers on the Lebanon border, Netanyahu said Israel was blocking the enemy in the north, while fighting to conquer the south, Ynet News reported. “If Hezbollah opens a second front against Israel, the consequences for Lebanon would be devastating. But we are prepared for any situation.”
Firing continued along the Israel-Lebanon border before IDF forces shot down a drone approaching Israel. The army said its troops also foiled an attempt to fire anti-tank missiles at Israel.
