Two Israeli soldiers killed in Lebanon, first deaths since truce

Two Israeli soldiers killed in Lebanon, first deaths since truce

Two countries near each other, Israel and Lebanon, had a big fight.

A group in Lebanon called Hezbollah was part of the fight.

In June, they agreed to stop fighting for a while.

This promise to stop is called a truce.

Now, two Israeli soldiers died while doing their job in southern Lebanon.

They are the first soldiers to die since the truce began.

Israel said Hezbollah broke the truce, so Israel attacked back.

The attack killed one person in Lebanon and hurt twelve other people.

Leaders met in Rome to talk about keeping the truce.

People are worried the two sides might start fighting again.
