On 19 September 2026, Osint613 (~17:42 UTC) citing the IDF Spokesperson said two Israeli soldiers were lightly wounded after an IDF engineering vehicle drove over a Hezbollah explosive charge inside the southern Lebanon security zone. The IDF responded with strikes on observation posts and other Hezbollah infrastructure across several sectors; forces remain deployed under the agreement. Business Upturn mirrored the IDF account.
