The Israeli military announced the killing of a master sergeant during military actions near the border with Lebanon, Asharq News reported early on Monday.
The army said the soldier was killed in a drone attack on Sunday in northern Israel.
In a statement, the army identified the soldier as Master Sgt. Alexander Glovanyov, 47, and said he was killed after the Hezbollah group launched multiple explosive-laden drones toward an area near the Lebanese border, according to several Israeli media outlets.
The Israeli army continues to conduct daily strikes in Lebanon and exchange fire with Hezbollah despite a ceasefire deal in place since April 17, which was later extended to mid-May.
