The dead soldier has been identified as Staff Sergeant Or Shachar, 22, from Kibbutz Yad Mordechai.
Another soldier suffered light injuries and was treated at the scene.

The incident occurred near Nabi el-Awadi, which lies near the village of A'taibeh and is situated in the eastern sector of south Lebanon.
