The Israeli military said on Sunday that a review of an explosion involving a Lebanese Armed Forces vehicle found the device was not an IDF explosive. The blast injured five Lebanese army soldiers earlier in the day, according to the statement.

In its assessment, the IDF said the explosive device is believed to have belonged to Hezbollah. The announcement was framed as a response to claims that had suggested Israeli responsibility for the incident.

The episode highlights the sensitivity surrounding security incidents involving Israel, Hezbollah and Lebanese state forces. Based on the brief account released, the central finding from the Israeli side was that the explosive was not linked to the IDF and was instead attributed to Hezbollah.

Only limited public details were available in the initial summary of the incident. What was clear from the announcement is that five Lebanese soldiers were hurt when the device exploded near or on their vehicle, and that the IDF says its review points away from Israeli ownership of the explosive.
