Munitions blast in Hezbollah site kills 5 Lebanese troops: military source

BEIRUT: Five Lebanese soldiers were killed in a blast on Saturday while removing munitions from a Hezbollah military facility in south Lebanon, a military source told AFP. Under a November truce that ended a recent war between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah, the army has been deploying in south Lebanon and dismantling the militant group’s infrastructure there. “Five soldiers were killed in an explosion... inside a Hezbollah military facility,” the source said, requesting anonymity as they were not authorized to brief the media.
