The Israeli military says that one of its soldiers has been killed in fighting in southern Lebanon, marking the fifth such fatality since a US-Iran deal was reached to end the Middle East war, AFP reports.

Staff Sergeant Nir Ben Ari “fell in combat” in southern Lebanon, the military says, a day after four other Israeli soldiers were killed in fighting with the Iran-backed Hezbollah group.
