JERUSALEM, June 17 (Xinhua) -- Five Israeli soldiers were wounded, including one seriously, in southern Lebanon by Hezbollah-fired explosive drones on Wednesday, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israeli media.

The drones, fired successively, exploded near a tank of the IDF's Givati infantry unit operating in southern Lebanon, Israel's Channel 12 News reported.

Earlier in the day, Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) reported that Israel launched airstrikes and artillery attacks on the Nabatieh area in southern Lebanon.

The United States, Iran, and mediator Pakistan announced early Monday the finalization of a memorandum of understanding, aiming to end the conflict on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

According to the NNA, at least five people have been killed by Israeli fire in Lebanon following the announcement. Enditem
