Several Lebanese army personnel were killed and wounded when ammunition remnants from Israeli attacks exploded during an attempt to dismantle them in southern Lebanon, Al Jazeera reports, citing the National News Agency.
The report said that the blast occurred in an area between Majdal Zoun and Zibqin in the Tyre district, where an army engineering team was working to neutralise unexploded ordnance.
Southern Lebanon has witnessed repeated incidents involving leftover munitions from past Israeli army attacks, which continue to pose a deadly risk to residents and security forces in the area.
