A Lebanese soldier has been killed after an Israeli attack on an army vehicle in southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese army, Al Jazeera reports.

The soldier was first injured by this morning’s attack, which occurred on a road between the villages of Burj al-Muluk and Qlayaa, the army said, but later died of his wounds.

The soldier’s death follows an earlier Israeli attack in the southern town of Sarafand that killed three Lebanese soldiers.

The recent deaths have brought the number of Lebanese soldiers killed since the Gaza conflict erupted last year to 41, according to the army.
