Four other soldiers were seriously wounded, the Israeli military said. The talks in Rome have focused on implementation of "pilot zones" where Israeli forces would withdraw and the Lebanese army would take control. Implementation began in July with an initial pilot zone in an area that wasn't occupied by Israeli forces but had previously sustained Israeli fire. The Lebanese army entered the town of Zawtar al-Gharbieh and some civilians returned, although many came only to find their homes destroyed and left again. More than 4000 people have been killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon since then, including hundreds of civilians.
