An IDF soldier and a combat officer were severely wounded during an operational accident in southern Lebanon, the IDF announced on Friday.

The soldiers have been taken to a hospital, and their families have been notified.

Meanwhile, the IDF's Arabic Spokesperson Col. (res.) Avichay Adraee issued an urgent evacuation warning for residents of Sajd in southern Lebanon on Friday morning.

Hezbollah is operating in the village, forcing the IDF to take military action, he said.

"The IDF does not intend to harm you. To ensure your safety, you must evacuate immediately and move north of the Zahrani River," he stated.

This follows ongoing strikes against Hezbollah terrorists and terror infrastructure in Lebanon. This includes a strike reported by Israel's public broadcaster KAN News during the early hours of Friday morning, when the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahiyeh, in southern Beirut, was hit by Israel without issuing an early warning or a call to evacuate.

UNICEF says over 370,000 children displaced in Lebanon, 121 killed

In addition, more than 370,000 children have been forced from their homes in Lebanon amid Israel's offensive against Hezbollah, with at least 121 children killed and 399 injured, UNICEF's representative in Lebanon, Marcoluigi Corsi, said on Friday.

This is a developing story.
