The Israeli military said it killed two people in separate strikes while its forces operated in southern Lebanon. One was described by Israel as a Hezbollah member near an entrance to underground infrastructure on the Ali al-Taher Ridge. The other was travelling in a vehicle, according to the military account carried by Israel National News.
The Israeli military said soldiers identified the first person beside an access shaft in an area it calls the Security Zone. It characterised him as an immediate danger to its troops and said an air attack was used against him. The statement did not name the person or provide evidence for his alleged Hezbollah membership.
In the second incident, Israel said it struck a vehicle carrying a person who also presented a threat to troops in the zone. The account did not identify that person, specify the location of the vehicle or describe the conduct that led forces to assess a threat. No information about other casualties was included.
Both descriptions came from the Israeli military. The supplied source offered no comment from Hezbollah, Lebanese authorities, witnesses or medical officials, and it did not independently verify the deaths or the circumstances preceding the strikes. Accordingly, the identities, affiliations and claimed immediacy of the danger remain Israeli assertions.
The July 10 statement said Israeli units would continue preventing Hezbollah personnel from using underground sites in the ridge area. That position was presented as part of the military’s stated objective of protecting its soldiers and Israeli civilians. The evidence packet does not define the boundaries or legal status of the area Israel labels the Security Zone.
The report also described other Israeli activity in southern Lebanon around the same period. Troops from the Golani Brigade, under the 36th Division, had recently found storage locations that Israel attributed to Hezbollah. The military said the sites held missiles and launchers together with machine guns, explosive devices and other arms, which it alleged were intended for attacks.
A day earlier, the military said members of the 551st Brigade had demolished two tunnels at Majdal Zoun. Israel gave their combined length as about 200 metres and said they reached roughly 20 metres underground. Those figures, like the descriptions of the storage sites, were not corroborated within the supplied material.
The available evidence therefore establishes an Israeli announcement on July 10 about two lethal strikes and related operations. It does not establish the names of those killed, the specific threats they allegedly posed, or an independent account of the underground facilities and weapons.
