Four IDF soldiers killed by Hezbollah drone in Lebanon as Israeli strikes kill 18; minister says 'all of Lebanon must burn'

The Hill — Home News—Four Israeli soldiers were killed by a Hezbollah drone strike on a tank in Lebanon, prompting intensified Israeli airstrikes that Lebanese officials said killed 18 people and wounded 33 others in southern and eastern Lebanon. Far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben Gvir declared 'all of Lebanon must burn' following the soldier deaths, while Trump urged Israeli restraint. Hezbollah separately claimed to have destroyed Israeli tanks. The escalation weighed heavily on the fragile US-Iran peace deal, as the fighting threatened to derail still-ongoing ceasefire arrangements.
