Israel claims injuries reported by Hezbollah from Sunday's attack were staged
A Hezbollah attack on an Israeli military vehicle on Sunday has caused confusion as Israel claimed that the reported injuries sustained by their forces were staged.
On Sunday, Hezbollah fired two or three anti-tank missiles at a battalion headquarters and a military ambulance, hitting both.
After the attack, the Iran-backed group said there were “dead and wounded” soldiers and Lebanese media announced several Israeli soldiers were injured and flown by helicopter to Haifa’s Rambam hospital.
The Israeli army denied the reports, claiming that the vehicle had been empty at the time and the casualties were staged with fake blood and bandages.
The supposedly wounded soldiers were released without receiving any medical care, local reports said.
The claims were met with scepticism in Lebanon.
