The IDF says three were from the Egoz unit, the same unit to which Eitan Yitzhak Oster,the first soldier confirmed killed today, belonged.
It also says seven soldiers have been injured.
In total, eight Israeli soldiers have been reported killed in combat - the first inside Lebanon since the invasion began.
- Fourteen Israeli servicemen were killed in clashes with Hezbollah fighters on the border with Lebanon, Sky News Arabia television reported, citing Israeli military sources.
According to previous reports, four soldiers were killed and about 20 other wounded during gunfights in the border areas of El-Edeis and Maroun al-Ras, where ambushes had been set up.
The death toll rose after Hezbollah fighters detonated an anti-personnel mine on the border near the village of Khirbet Yarun, the report said. In a post on Telegram, Hezbollah said the explosion killed and wounded some Israeli soldiers.
Hezbollah said its fighters were clashing with Israeli troops who had "infiltrated" a southern border village.
