April 28 (Reuters) - An Israeli strike on Lebanese troops and rescuers during ‌a rescue operation in the village ‌of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon wounded two Lebanese ​soldiers, the Lebanese army said on Tuesday.

The Lebanese civil defense said three of its members were trapped under rubble after the ‌Israeli attack, ⁠adding that efforts were underway with the Lebanese army to evacuate ⁠them.

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The U.S.-mediated ceasefire ​agreed between ​Israel and Lebanon ​has led to ‌a significant reduction in hostilities, but Israel and Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah have continued to clash in southern Lebanon, where Israel has kept soldiers in the self-declared buffer ‌zone.

Israel has continued to ​carry out strikes across ​southern Lebanon, ​destroying homes it describes as ‌infrastructure being used by Hezbollah. ​The Iran-backed ​group, meanwhile, has kept up its drone and rocket attacks against Israeli ​troops in ‌Lebanon and on northern Israel.
