Israel said on 6 August that two of its soldiers, Major Harel Birenstock and Sergeant Major Tamir Vaknin of the 2855th Battalion, 55th Brigade, were killed in combat in southern Lebanon the previous day, its first such military fatalities there since 28 June, The Hindu reported. Lebanese state media said a separate Israeli strike killed one person and wounded 11 others. The clashes came even as U.S.-backed talks continued in Rome aimed at ending hostilities. Separately, Iran said it and Oman had agreed a route for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz and were finalising arrangements to jointly manage the waterway, while oil prices fell as shipping traffic declined.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The casualty figures here come from the parties most directly involved, Israel's military for its own soldiers and Lebanese state media for the strike toll, and neither account carries independent confirmation in this report. The Rome talks and the Iran-Oman arrangement over the Strait of Hormuz are both reported as still in progress, not as concluded agreements. Completion of the Iran-Oman arrangement for jointly managing the Strait of Hormuz is the step Tehran said was being finalised.
