Israeli drone strike kills two in southern Lebanon

Lebanon's civil defence in the south reported that two people were killed when an Israeli drone struck a BMW X5 SUV on the Dabsheh hill road heading towards Doha Kfar Roumman, according to al-Mayadeen and the Lebanese national news agency. The attack occurred amid ongoing tensions along the border.

In addition to the drone strike, Israeli forces opened fire on a vehicle in the Deir neighbourhood of Nabatieh al-Fawqa and on another car near an army barracks area, marking further breaches of the ceasefire agreement. A hostile drone also dropped two sound bombs on the town of Braashit in the Bint Jbeil district.

In the border town of Ain al-Arab, an Israeli patrol accompanied by a D9 bulldozer entered and demanded that the town chief inform residents they must vacate their homes by 5 p.m. or face demolition. The Lebanese army had only on Tuesday reopened the road to Ain al-Arab, allowing some residents to return and inspect their homes and property after a prolonged displacement.

According to Mehr News Agency (MNA), these incidents highlight continued violations of the ceasefire by Israeli forces in southern Lebanon.
