At least three people were martyred in an Israeli airstrike in the Tyre district in southern Lebanon on Saturday, according to the National News Agency (NNA).
The NNA reported that victims were traveling in a car when they were attacked by a drone on the road between the towns of Burj Rahhal and al-Abbasiya.
The attack happened amid Israeli airstrikes and heavy artillery shelling targeting several areas of southern Lebanon.
The Israeli military escalation also included the demolition of homes in southern Lebanon and direct clashes with Hezbollah fighters in the town of al-Bayada.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah announced on Saturday that it carried out two counterattacks targeting gatherings of Israeli soldiers and armored vehicles in the town of Rashaf, southern Lebanon.
The resistance group said its new operations were carried out “in defense of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the Israeli enemy’s ceasefire violations and its attacks on villages in southern Lebanon, which resulted in many casualties among civilians.”
Hebrew media outlets, for their part, reported today that at least two Israelis were injured after a booby‑trapped drone launched by Hezbollah landed in the settlement of Shlomi, located near the Lebanese-Palestinian border.
