The Military Police has opened an investigation into the death of a Hezbollah detainee in southern Lebanon while in the custody of IDF troops. No further details have been provided on the incident. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir condemned the investigation, claiming it was into the death of a Hezbollah terrorist captured by the IDF. Israel's military chief stated that at least 1,500 Hezbollah operatives are believed to have been killed in Lebanon since the start of the ground operation. This investigation appears to be the first probe for an incident on Lebanese territory since the launch of the ground operation against Hezbollah.
