Israeli media reported injuries among the Israeli army at the border near the southern town of Ayta Ashab due to the explosion of a landmine in a Hummer vehicle during an operation to clear land that the Israeli army was conducting in Harjat al-Rahib. This resulted in the amputation of one soldier's leg and injuries to others. Videos circulated on social media showed a group of soldiers carrying the injured and transferring them to a Merkava tank that was present at the site.
