An Israeli soldier was killed and two reservists were wounded on Wednesday in a Hezbollah attack in northern Israel, near the Lebanese border, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement, writes CNN.

Sergeant Rotem Yanai, 20, was named by the IDF as the soldier who died in the explosive drone attack.

Eleven IDF soldiers have died since the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel was announced on April 16, with seven of those people being killed by explosive drones. The Israeli military has intensified its operation targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon in recent days. An IDF official told CNN earlier this week that the goal was to push Hezbollah’s explosive drone capabilities further away from Israel`s border.

Early Thursday, Israel launched fresh strikes on the Lebanese city of Tyre, north of the zone occupied by Israeli forces.
