Four other soldiers were wounded, the military said. The deaths had been reported by Israeli media a day earlier.<\/p>\n

The Israeli army launched strikes Wednesday in southern Lebanon in response to what it described as Hezbollah\u2019s violation of the ceasefire and issued a call for residents of the village of Mansouri to flee \u2014 the first such warning Israel has issued in Lebanon for weeks.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate statement from Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

The escalation came as Lebanese and Israeli negotiators met in Rome to discuss implementation of a June 26 deal under which Israeli forces are supposed to withdraw from areas they occupy in southern Lebanon and allow the Lebanese army to take control, in exchange for Hezbollah\u2019s disarmament.<\/p>\n

A shaky truce between Israel and Hezbollah has largely held since June 20, but Israeli forces have continued to occupy swaths of southern Lebanon and to carry out periodic airstrikes and shelling.<\/p>\n
