Jordan has condemned an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon that killed three members of the Lebanese Army, including a brigadier general, a captain and a soldier. Lebanese officials have described the attack as a direct violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty, warning that continued strikes risk pushing the country deeper into instability.
The Lebanese Army said the personnel were killed while travelling in a military vehicle in the Nabatieh area, while Beirut accused Israel of undermining efforts to restore security and prevent a wider escalation. Reports say Israel has claimed the strike is under review and that its operations are aimed at Hezbollah, not the Lebanese Army.
For Lebanon, the killing of uniformed army officers is being treated not only as another deadly strike, but as an attack on the authority of the Lebanese state itself. Jordan’s condemnation adds to growing regional pressure on Israel as governments warn that repeated attacks on Lebanese territory could further weaken the fragile situation along the border and expand the conflict beyond its current front lines.

Jordan has joined Lebanon in condemning an Israeli strike that killed a Lebanese Army brigadier general, a captain and a soldier in southern Lebanon. Beirut says the attack was a violation of national sovereignty and a dangerous blow to Lebanon’s efforts to maintain control during an already fragile security crisis.
The strike has raised fresh concerns over Israel’s ongoing military operations inside Lebanese territory, especially after reports that the Lebanese Army vehicle was hit in the Nabatieh region. Israel says the incident is being reviewed, while Lebanese officials argue that targeting army personnel threatens the stability of the state and risks dragging Lebanon into deeper confrontation.
