18 Israeli soldiers wounded in Golan Heights

JERUSALEM - Israel's military said on Sunday 18 of its soldiers were injured, one of them seriously, when a drone struck their position in the occupied Golan Heights, which border Lebanon.

The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) said in a statement the strike happened earlier on Sunday. It said since then, it had struck Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon with air strikes and artillery fire.

Fighting between the IDF and Lebanon's Hezbollah has been escalating, after it was triggered by the Gaza war.
