Israel army says another soldier killed in south Lebanon

The Israeli army announced the death in combat on Thursday of a soldier in south Lebanon, just hours after reporting another death from its ranks.

"Sergeant Aviaad Elchanan Volansky, 21, from Jerusalem, a soldier in the 77th Battalion of the 7th Brigade, was killed in action in southern Lebanon," a military statement said.

Four Israeli soldiers have now been killed in fighting in south Lebanon since the latest round of fighting with Hezbollah erupted.
